Supporting Social Learning for the 21st Century (SU418)

Social learning is how people learn today, through their colleagues, social media, and technology. Learning and development professionals need to help employees connect with other people and information within and across organizations, so they stay engaged and keep up with industry, job, and organizational changes. This session will introduce the concept of social learning and the skills for becoming a social learner. You will interact with social learning activities, and will see a demo of a learning website created for staff learning at the University of California Berkeley. After attending this session, you will be positioned to support social learning in your organization in two key areas: delivering learning content in new and relevant ways, and enabling managers and employees to learn and share with one another. Come and practice being a social learner!
