» Social Learning doesn’t mean what you think it does! Learning in the Social Workplace
A few days ago my Internet Time Alliance colleague, Harold Jarche, shared this article, written by Deb Lavoy, with me: Social Business Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Does, Neither Does Enterprise 2.0 . The first few paragraphs say it all! “Social Business” is not about technology, or about “corporate culture.”

Podcast: Success factors for work-based learning : JISC
Work-based learning has different definitions depending upon which area of education you work within. JISC’s Rebecca O'Brien chats with Stan Unwin, an advisor on work-based learning at JISC Advance Regional Support Centre East Midlands based at Loughborough College, about what it means for vocational learning and apprenticeships while at work. Subscribe to the JISC Podcast via RSS 2 Subscribe to the JISC Podcast via iTunes 3 Download the podcast 4Ben Showers, JISC programme manager, is clearly excited by this initiative. He tells us, “The work is, as one library director who attended a recent briefing day described it, ‘truly transformative’”. Cloud computing allows data, software and computing power to be stored and accessed from a shared, remote server. It is massively beneficial for individual institutions, as it gives them far greater resource and IT capability than they could develop in-house, enabling budget to be deployed for more core areas such as research, teaching and learning. Showers is, however, adamant that “we are not developing a new electronic resource management system”; rather, the focus is on data and harnessing the community effort and work that happens at an institutional level. JISC aims to simplify the the challenge of collating accurate, quality and timely data across UK universities.

Investment in learning technologies increases business agility
Organisations are increasing their investment in learning technologies to help them respond faster to changing business conditions and to build talent. According to the eighth benchmark study from Towards Maturity, 77% of the 600 organisations that took part believe that learning technologies will help them respond faster to changing business conditions, an increase of 11% from 2010. The study – which was previewed in the November issue of e.learning age– found that learning technologies are helping organisations reduce proven competency time by 35%, roll-out new IT systems faster by 33% and improve product and processes changes by 33%.Guide to the Resources | Triptico
Please feel free to save a copy, send a copy to a colleague, share the link, print a copy for your staffroom, Tweet about it or whatever else you feel will be helpful! Many teachers have also contacted me asking for suggestions about introducing the resources to colleagues during training sessions. Whilst I hope that this guide will help, I also intend to create some training materials (PowerPoints etc) which teachers can download for free and use. The resources are regularly presented at conferences around the world too – and so hopefully I will be able to upload some materials to assist with this as well.
