(Learning & Development in Organisations series #11)

In SOCIAL, COLLABORATIVE AND COLLECTIVE LEARNING IN ORGANISATIONS, the authors first define a number of concepts and discuss learning theory issues associated with this type of learning. Then they discuss different types of social and collective learning, including learning in teams, communities of practice (Co Ps) and the learning organisation. The ebook provides a detailed discussion of evaluation of the role of social media in social and collective learning and the different types of social media that can be used by L&D professionals. It concludes with a discussion of collective learning processes, including learning circles, organisational dialogue, open space technology, World Cafe and the conditions facilitating social, collaborative and collective learning.
