Blending Learning, Experiences and Knowledge Sharing

Learning is no longer just a set of discrete courses or formal activities that happen in a classroom or at a desktop. Learning is dynamic, happening between people at the point of discovery or in the context of work.

But how do we ensure learners are sharing and accessing the right information and leveraging informal experiences that support desired performance outcomes? ACS suggests that designing for social learning and knowledge sharing in now a must-have as part of an overall learning strategy. With this new value-add capability, enabling communities, blogs and team centers becomes a matter of minutes, and incorporating breakout rooms or private coaching rooms in program design becomes a simple process.

Here are just a few of the value-add features available to support your enterprise learning strategy:

  • Learning maps that weave together content and collaboration
  • Skill acquisition is reinforced and evaluated by on-the-job practice
  • Collaborative technology engages coaches and mentors in the learning process
  • Coaching and collaboration are tracked as easily as SCORM objects
  • Weave together same-time Web meetings with a rich threaded discussion
