new year, new learning
DESCRIPTION
As ‘out of the box’ learning management systems become more associated with prescriptive, push-learning approaches, are they are in danger of becoming extinct? Recent years have witnessed the proliferation of mobile devices capable of running platforms for real time communication with others. Given the easy accessibility of such platforms, employees are now on the hunt for ever-quicker methods to acquire workplace learning. Arguably this trend towards social learning could be considered high-risk in a business context, given that communications can't always moderated.

This Slideshare presentation from Webanywhere considers some of these issues.TRANSCRIPT
