More Description
Social media has the potential to revolutionize workplace learning. People have always learned best from one another--social media enables this to happen unrestricted by physical location and in extraordinarily creative ways. Authors Bingham and Conner explain why social media is the ideal solution to some of the most pressing educational challenges organizations face today, such as a widely dispersed workforce and striking differences in learning styles, particularly across generations. They definitively answer common objections to using social media as a training tool and show how to win over even the most resistant employees. Then, using examples from a range of organizations--including Deloitte, IBM, TELUS, and others--Bingham and Conner help readers sort through the dizzying array of technological options available and decide when and how to use each one to achieve key strategic goals. The New Social Learning is the most authoritative guide available to leveraging these powerful new technologies.
