Thoughts on Informal Learning:

Corporations typically invest very little in informal learning, even though that’s where most corporate learning takes place! First-generation eLearning took the people out of learning. New collaborative tools and techniques bring the people back. Join us to see how learning networks, knowledge-blogs and wikis, outsourced mentoring, and emergent communities accelerate and deepen learning. Find out how thought-leaders are redefining collaboration to improve customer satisfaction, foster teamwork, cut time-to-proficiency, and create continuous learning. See demonstrations of collaborative technologies, often open-source solutions available for free.

Attend this session to:

• Learn how blogs and social software can boost learning results
• Discover how outsourced mentoring spreads expertise across borders
• Find out how business organizations are developing communities of practice
• Understand how emergent behavior creates learning networks
• See expert-locator systems and social network analysis in action
