If you are at all involved in the delivery of training via the use of technologies, you have probably seen, heard, or used the terms e-learning or social learning*.

Posted by Robert Bacal in Mouthing Off, Robert's Editorials, Thought Jolts, Training Wisdom or Training Foolishness on August 27, 2009
Today, a TRDEV-L group member posted an interesting message asking what’s wrong with training? I sent a reply to him via the list, but thought I’d share it here as a think piece and stimulus for comment.
Why is it so? Do people have so many bad experience in training that they don’t believe training is [...]

I’m not sure I understand what falls under the term “social learning” platforms since I’ve seen almost every thing imaginable, including YouTube, described as a social learning tool. But what I’m looking for is your views.
I’ve seen so many vague claims for the effectiveness of social learning, but I’m not really seeing clear explanations of [...]
