In no realm has this been more evident than in our constant encouragement of the use of internal social media networks as a crucial benefit-multiplier for any employee training project. Internally, we have deployed a number of wikis for some time, and my colleagues are just down the hall.

Envision a phone application that allows you to browse FAQs, search for desired training content and access collaborative workspaces including wikis and forums that contain user-generated content. Mobile learning should be a fast, easy user experience where learners can access a “robust library of content” and communicate with others.

Most people would probably assume that today social networking and education are now pretty interrelated. Social networking platforms are part of mainstream culture. who have internet access use social networking technologies for blogging, chatting, online communities and more. How Schools Use Social Networking.
The micro-blogging feature is a great way to build a network that can be used for varied types of learning. WIKI: Check if your LMS includes a Wiki. Wikis are simple, efficient tools for managing knowledge and collaborating. You can read more about LMS Wikis here. They’re easy to learn and use.

Imagine instead that before coming to the ward the students had access to a network which let them find the profiles of all the staff who worked on that ward. The network will also contain links to information about initiatives that are happening in the ward to address patient safety and quality improvement. So what can we do?

They can turn to Blogs, Twitter, wikis, social networks, video sites, etc. Follow and participate in discussions with experts on Twitter and in forums. Contribute ideas with colleagues using wikis. He asked if I could lend a hand in clarifying how learning management systems fit into all this. I sent along the following.
In the comments section of my previous post, Mike Caulfield kindly pointed me to the article Envisioning the Post-LMS Era: The Open Learning Network by Jonathan Mott. Mott’s blueprint is the Open Learning Network (OLN). A comprehensive wiki , 2. An open discussion forum , and. We can have both.&#. Amen to that.
Using phones, they browse the web, connect on social networks, share photos and videos, make purchases, play games, and keep track of what they care for through dedicated apps. Mobiles are a way of life and are catching up in the learning domain as well. Your workforce uses mobiles for more than just phone calls or text messages.
While these apps aren’t components of the enterprise’s intranet proper, they’re accessible from there and thus form part of the network. An intranet with an SII of 6 integrates social media elements such as a discussion forum, blogs and wikis into a single sign-on solution. The user experience is seamless.

Siemens describes connectivism as “the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organisation theories&#. If we view chaos through the lens of Network Theory , we see the universe as a massive, complex network. Recommend news feeds, podcasts, blogs and discussion forums.
I received a question this week related to Discussion Forums for Knowledge Sharing at Capital City Bank : I successfully launched a discussion forum for a small group of lending assistants within my bank. That forum is still up and running. I could go on… but I’m sure you get the picture. Great question.
For example, you can engage employees from the same department to contribute weekly to their “department wiki”. Knowledge in this wiki is “community managed and owned”. Everyone having access to their department wiki will have the information upon searching for their department specific terminologies.

But, I by no means consider myself an expert and find that I spend quite a bit of my time building my network skills so I can do this more effectively. When I looked at her first post, I was actually disappointed because it wasn't really about networks and communities. My disappointment was purely my own making. Meet once a month.
As staff familiarise themselves with blogs, wikis, RSS, YouTube and Twitter, and as more tech-savvy Gen-Y’s & Z’s join the organisation, the demand for self-paced, self-directed learning will accelerate. Learning will be fully networked. I think in 10 years’ time it will be even more so.
Cisco Learning Network Cisco wanted to support certifications around the world for technicians who service their networks. Wanted to increase # cert holders worldwide – the network experts – wanted more resources and options. an entire social network surrounding your content” – it’s still in beta.
Imagine an environment where the participants are building, creating, and participating in a massive network of dozens of databases, hundreds of wikis and websites, and thousands of message forums, literally creating a large-scale knowledge economy.

Beyond enterprise social networks – which are hardly universal and face substantial challenges of their own – UGC in the broader sense is beset by concerns about content quality, accountability, organisational culture, job security and power dynamics. OK, a missing link in this solution is a social forum.
For some time now, I have an evaluation report of an organization that has experience with the introduction of social media (like wikis and blog) in the organization since 2009. The organization chose a toolset with thematic wikis as a basis, supplemented with other social media such as social bookmarking, blogs and discussion forums. "We
Yesterday I talked about the seeding, feeding, and weeding necessary to develop a self-sustaining network. I referred to supporting the activities that we find in natural learning, for both formal and informal learning. The goal is to align our organized support with our learners to optimize the outcome.
Traditional online community mechanisms (email lists, groups) are joined by a wide variety of publishing mechanisms (blogs, social bookmarking, wikis, flickr, etc.) This forms a big network of people linked first through content and eventually directly (in person or via social networking). Who are the people in my network?
Over time, content providers will supplement their core offerings with live webinars, interactive exercises, discussion forums, wikis, social networks etc. While MOOCs typically comprise video clips and perhaps a quiz, they will inevitably include more instructional devices to assist distance learning (and remain competitive).
Networks grow from separate nodes, to a hierarchical organization where one node manages the connections, but the true power of a network is unleashed when every node knows what the goal is and the nodes coordinate to achieve it. It is this unleashing of the power of the network that we want to facilitate. What do I mean?
Mzinga is a merger of KnowledgePlanet (an LMS provider and also the maker of the eLearning simulation tool - Firefly) and Shared Insights - a community / business social networking software company. This merger points to another direction - combination of LMS capability + community / social networking. I wonder if mzinga does?
Academic Networking. Make page creation easier, more like a wiki but w/o markup. Academic Networking. Social networks now are either about content (flickr, delicious) or people (Facebook, LinkedIn). Apparently content networks shun capital letters). Academic networking: friends isn’t enough.
Cognitivist learning theories inform us that hierarchically (or otherwise logically) arranged content aligns with the existing network of knowledge in the learner’s mind. • Migrate extensive text into a downloadable document or into a wiki. • Would a wiki be a more effective (self-directed) mode of delivery?
While there remains a need for formal training environments to meet specific learning outcomes, the necessity for organizations to leverage platforms that enable social and informal learning, where learners network, share, collaborate, and exchange ideas to solve problems, is paramount. Adopting social learning just makes sense.
• Social networks. I’m referring to things like: • Discussion forums. • Wikis. Everyone knows there’s a wealth of free learning resources on the web, and many of them are relevant to the corporate sector. I’m referring to things like: • Blogs. • Slides. • Videos.
This help can come in the form of an Electronic Performance Support System (EPSS), wikis, blogs and forums, moderated FAQ sites, peer-to-peer networks, or any number of other tools. The issue I see here is offering so many tools that no single tool can be effective and a consistency becomes a very real problem.
Over time, content providers will supplement their core offerings with live webinars, interactive exercises, discussion forums, wikis, social networks etc. While MOOCs typically comprise video clips and perhaps a quiz, they will inevitably include more instructional devices to assist distance learning (and remain competitive).
Given this context, learners can access learning materials through peer-to-peer collaboration networks such as forums. At the present virtual learning also happens through social technologies like blogs, wikis, discussion forums, messaging tools, conferencing tools, subject-matter directories, and videos.
We also had discussion forums, on-going office hours. Yes, you can think of Blogs, Wikis, etc. How about when you build skills around scanning via RSS, social bookmarking, reaching into networks for expertise, etc.? Maybe we are providing a Wiki and conducting a barn raising session? Now the interesting part.
I'm not sure how we will create these (Google Docs, Wiki, Mindmap, etc.). These would be organized around the following categories: Search Keep/Organize/Refind/Remind Leverage Expertise (Network) Collaborate Scan (Continuous Awareness/Learning) Learning 2.0 But, I really don't have time to create what I want to create.
Systems and software to prevent computers, mobile devices, and networks from being hacked or damaged. Discussion Forum. Learning through experience which can be achieved in eLearning via simulations, interactive videos , discussion forums, reflections, branched scenarios, active tasks, and opportunities to apply learning.
