What Is Social Learning?

Social learning is learning via communication and examples from others, a combination of formal and informal learning, which increases knowledge retention and employee motivation.

The main idea of social learning is to give learners an opportunity to exchange creative ideas and solutions, share gained knowledge, work experience and collaborate with one another.

In comparison with the traditional learning approach where the training process follows a predetermined curriculum and the trainer is the center of knowledge, social learning is not scheduled and happens whenever a question or idea appears.

Why Social Learning LMS?

Social networks are widely used for sharing information, creating user groups and discussing topics, however, they lack the features required for education such as quizzes, attendance, gradebook, information structure, student’s progress tracking etc.

Social networks are a good communication tool while an LMS is an ideal platform for distant education. Why not use them together?

Integration with social media enhances the Learning Management System functionality with a variety of social learning features, thereby building a Social Learning platform that can be used for education.

A Social Learning LMS allows learners to turn to each other for advice or assistance, create groups and discussion threads around common interests, publish materials and share their learning progress. Such social learning functionality improves job performance and corporate culture.

Keep Learners Engaged and Motivated

Learners’ social profiles display all the information associated with the training process (the courses learners took, the certificates received etc.) The information on colleagues’ achievements evokes the effect of competition making employees to take a more active role in their own learning and to enroll in additional courses.

Encourage Social Collaboration

Social learning tools such as forum and chat discussions, learners’ blogging with comments and feedback are the simplest ways to promote social collaboration and embrace transparency. Learners can create social learning communities and groups around particular topics, work together on finding the problem solutions and follow each other for valuable pieces of advice or a regular feedback on their work.
