People connecting, communicating, and learning from each other across multiple networks across the world – everyone now has the potential to be both teacher and learner. http://mashable.com/2010/10/06/map-online-communities/
Association E-learning: State of the Sector Association Learning Management Systems Association Virtual Conferences Learning 2.0 for Associations Also give brief overview of the Tagoras research philosophy
Mention Pew also [Define what “social” includes – what it is] http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter http://www.blogpulse.com/
Knowledge construction A mental representation Learner as active sense maker Instructor as cognitive guide

It’s a “when” and a “both/and” question. This doesn’t kill off formal education and training – not by a long shot. Use what best aligns to your business and learning objectives. In other words, think strategically – and definitely don’t ignore it: it’s not going away.

Learning does not have to be a formal “class” experience. And social media doesn’t not have to mean Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn – classic tools like discussion and chat are definitely social.
You have to understand your (1) your learning objectives, (2) your target audience’s motivations (intrinsic and extrinsic), and (3) your target audiences habits (not just “preferences”). Don’t force social interaction that does not align to learning objectives; be careful about forcing interaction when there is little intrinsic motivation; and realize that you may have to lead the way in the development of new habits – which can take time. 23 Things learning 2.0 project ( http://plcmcl2-about.blogspot.com/ ) launched by Helen Blowers in 2006 and since used by hundreds of libraries. By leveraging the tools of Web 2.0, Helen came up with a great approach to helping librarians learn the tools of … you guessed, it: Web 2.0. A similar approach might be just the things for sparking the interest of your adult learners.
Social NARI did an excellent job of understanding audience needs, being willing to think differently about learning, aligning its product to fit objectives, motivations, and habits – and that spurred the creation of an award-winning podcast series. Also mention ASAE blog – the do a good job of curating.
SCCE invested a great deal of time and effort to get its online community up and running (on Higher Logic). ED Roy Snell says it is now “invaluable” as a platform for knowledge sharing and informal learning.
They have guest commentors on Mondays who are there to spark conversation on hot issues. Pick these people the same way they pick speakers. Get staff, board, and key volunteers to participate until it really gets going
PMMI did and excellent job of conveying the value of social networking to its conference goers and helping to develop a new habit – and they were careful to track the impact. There are a wide range of metrics that can be used to gauge what people are getting our of social connections – but don’t forget traditional methods like assessment – there is no reason a quiz or test can’t be used to ensure that people have actually learned what they need to through social learning. Over the course of 3 days 638 tweets to #packexpo 104 contributors 125 new followers Sparked further engagement Tweet to Learn : Twitter offers a new twist on discussion. Many associations have started using Twitter “hashtags” (e.g., #Tech10) to channel discussion for their conferences, and there’s no reason not to do the same with an online event. In fact, you might share the same hashtag between an online and offline event to help create even more interaction.
http://www.learninganalytics.net/ Mention Twubs also. And maybe mention the whole rise in “learning analytics.”

To effectively lead social learning, you have to live it first. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hanspoldoja/5001818922/
And you have to empower your learners. As the earlier data shows, people are using social media – and they use it every day for learning – but most do not consciously think of it as a tool in their professional development tool kit. You need to raise their consciousness and teach them how to use the tools in effective was. And in some cases, you will need to take them in directions that may not be clear to them on their own. http://www.flickr.com/photos/frame_maker/5388980100/
Finally – you have to be willing to experiment, to figure out what works. Every organization we have talked to that is doing interesting things with incorporating new technologies into their learning programs has emphasized that at some point they simply had to “take the leap.” The idea of being fearless, of trying things out, of “incubating” comes up again and again. “ I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong” Ben Franklin http://thinkexist.com/quotations/failure/
