Social Learning: The Future Is Here! - ATD

In essence, technology and social media have led to a democratization of learning and education that is unprecedented. Learning is everyone’s domain. Continuous learning and growth are not only possible, but expected. Curiosity is the only currency you need. So what’s the L&D professional’s role in this evolution? Workplace learning must adapt to this new world and provide the tools and vehicles to leverage the collective wisdom in the organization. We must support collaborative learning and work. We must build learning and professional networks that cross organizational boundaries, and even go beyond organizations. We must discover and share best practices and ideas and solutions. We can curate content, build platforms, encourage peer learning, and share information. https://www.td.org/Publications/Blogs/L-and-D-Blog/2017/04/Social-Learning-the-Future-Is-Here
