With the advent of Web 2.0, the concept of community has been able to extend not only virtually, but also into different sectors inside and outside organizations. The extension and expansion has rekindled interest in community: how it forms, how it can be maintained, and how it can be leveraged for marketing consumer products and services as well as for learning.
In this panel session, three experts will share their experiences of, research into, and beliefs about the state of community in 2017. The discussion will explore its foundational elements and evolution, and will gaze into the future of learning communities and the role they can play in organizations.
In this session, you will learn:
- What community is and what it isn’t
- About the various types of community and their purpose
- How technology can positively and negatively impact community
- How community can be channeled for organizational learning
- About the role L&D can play in supporting community in the workplace
