Social Learning: Challenges, Opportunities, and Implications

Social learning in the enterprise is top of mind for many organizations. But what is social learning? What resources and tools drive and support collaboration?

Participants in this session will learn about challenges for social-learning adoption in the enterprise, examine the 7Cs of social learning, observe a solid collaborative-learning process, discuss how the role of the instructional designer is evolving to accommodate social-learning efforts, and review Cisco’s social-learning success story.
