Last week [October 25th] I had the distinct privilege of sitting in on the Tin Can API break-out session that was presented by Aaron Silvers of ADL. I’m not sure of his exact title, but his role was in a leadership capacity on the Tin Can API project. His business card says “the Beard”…and while that was accurate, I still don’t know his real title. Given ADL was also the birth mother of SCORM, I walked in and sat down with a preconception or two that this was SCORM in a new dress. Wow, was I wrong!

Social Learning is so simple a caveman can do it…but not if he has to facilitate a virtual classroom event. We are way beyond campfires and cavemen with social learning when we inject a plethora of technology into the mix. Call it Confusion 2.0. I’ve promoted the concept of reaching learning readiness in the context of effective learning when technology is involved. Never has this been more true than with getting the most out of Social Learning. This is true because it is not an event, and for the most part, those of us in L&D roles are pre-disposed to build events. Social Learning changes that paradigm whether we’re at readiness or not.
