Learning meets social media

Am getting very interested in social learning - where social media tools meet learning, in particular workplace learning. Had the pleasure of meeting Don Taylor last night at the ConnectingHR tweetup and we had a good chat about our social learning project - Elevenses - at RBI.

I am going to kick start a new blog dedicated to social learning with a look at how Elevenses works - more of that to come.

In the meantime, I have added my thoughts to an interesting post by don on core competencies for the learning professional.

Hopefully posts will be a bit more shareable

Thanks to my blog mentor @adders I have now switched on some social media tools on the footer of my posts :-)

BBC's learning design toolkit

Excellent work here from the BBC with the launch of its learning design toolkit. If you design or deliver online learning then this is well worth a look. What is particularly pleasing to see is that the emphasis is on the learner and how they like and want to learn rather than thinking first about content and delivery.

Usability is key to the experience, but do those designing elearning put usability high up the priority list?

take a look at theses resources - they will help you in designing you next elearning offering.

Happy seventh birthday Onemanandhisblog

Adam has just celebrated seven years on Onemanandhisblog. What an achievement - and this is just one of his blogs. I have hit a very dry patch on this blog and this despite the fact I have lots of things in my head that I want to post about.

Adam's work rate is pretty extraordinary and he is always a good read. Well done to you, sir.
