Blog of Collective Intelligence: A software substrate for collective intelligence. Is It Knowledge, Creativity or Innovation? I enjoy good conversations. Social media doesn’t always engage relevant people in relative conversations because sometimes the context of ones content gets lost in the translation. Thus a “live” conversational exchange allows for corrections and adjustments to the context of what is being discussed. Recently Dan Robles and I were having some dialog around the nature of social media specifically in context to knowledge exchanges, creativity and innovation. Dan’s thinking is always on the edge and his insights are very valuable and useful to those seeking the wisdom of what will be the next generation of social media.
Below is a summary of our recent exchanges and I thought they may be useful. The NEW Social Learning - A Guide to Collaborative & Collective Intelligence. I’ve had the privilege of working with online learning communities for over a decade.
Starting in the mid-90s with the AOL Greenhouse’d Real Fans, onto AOL Community Program Manager (overseeing People Connection and several channel communities) and continuing with my work here at ConverStations, I’ve always tried to look for ways to help create communities of fans and of learners. That’s why the title “The NEW Social Learning – A Guide to Transforming Organizations Through Social Media” had me a bit excited. At times, these types of books are theory sans practice. This one is on the money!
The NEW Social Learning (@newsociallearn) is a guide to creating your own “community of learners” by embracing and integrating social and mobile tools in the training and learning process. Collective-intelligence 2. Awesome agencies/collectives/individuals. Social Learning.
