What We’re Great at: This Is What We DO

Teach people how to do things Thoroughly research and carefully develop courses Provide polished speakers and stunning presentation support materials Find and disseminate the “one best way” to do something Create materials and courses, and the appetite for more training Do such a good job that people look to us as the source of knowledge and expertise Provide “edutainment”

What’s different now?

Why the interest in social and informal as if they were invented yesterday?

Why so hot in 2012?

Give people advice on how to learn, find, sift through, and evaluate their own information

Supply fast, current information bites with little or no development time needed Offer credible subject matter experts and on-the-job coaches Provide divergent ways of thinking about problems Reduce information overload and the need for externally provided training rather than individually motivated learning Improve performance

So what do we need to do?

So for us to better support social/informal

We need to develop skills in:

Curating

Including

Participating

Supporting communities

CURATION

Museum curator = organize around topic/point of view Filter Feeding in new/relevant content & support tools May not always be you = community helps curate

Overwhelming Abundance of Information That Begs To Be Organized A Growing Number of "Open" Teaching / Learning Content Hubs Constantly Changing Information Real-World Info Is Not Held Inside Silos Fast-Food Info Consumption in Decline Teachers Can Curate Their Textbooks

Curation: Skills

Content curation embodies research, investigative and sense-making skills Helping learners construct views and alternative views How do we curate?

INCLUSION

Learn to include learners

Help learners contribute, question, and learn from each other

Have them help generate instructional materials

PARTICIPATION

Learn to use new tools/approaches yourself Help others learn to contribute, question, generate, and redirect and enhance New group configurations and new power relationships Facilitators, trainers, supervisors, or whomever at the local level participates in choosing learning goals

Participation…

Identify others in the organization who can support your success

Part of your development will be learning to help facilitators develop.

Who are your “lifelong learner” types? Who are your writer types? Who’s already participating in online or other groups talking about work or work topics?

Become a partner, not just broadcaster

SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES

Not just setting up a site

Not just ‘if you build it, they will come’

Inclusion (them) + Participation (you)

• Nurturing, feeding, growing, and sometimes weeding a community is not the same as controlling or directing it, and it takes time and skill to get it right.

REALITY CHECK

Page 18: Informal Learning and Social Media: Upskiilling for 21st Century Training

18

If employees aren’t talking to each other now, or operating in a culture of fairly open communication

Then setting up an online group won’t change that.

Top-down direction as often as not will result in some sort of organized work group, but it likely won’t be a

community of shared learning and practice.

You can’t create and force people to participate in communities.

Do you want people coming to you because they WANT to or because they HAVE to?
