This document discusses how social learning can enhance management education. It reviews research on learning technologies to identify key questions about leveraging user-generated content. Social learning allows students and instructors to access notes from colleagues in real time. Patterns emerge from individual "Little Data" over time within and across similar topics. Social learning platforms can provide bridges between formal education and workplace challenges by enabling interactive, dynamic and mobile collaboration on notes and course materials.

2. How can social learning bring the value proposition of
Management Education into focus ?
We review the research on learning technologies to identify
the key questions underlying leveraging user generated
content
We suggest that context is a filter through which students
can make sense of the data
We then describe how our vision social learning is
implemented using examples in management and
corporate education

3. Managing user-generated content provides an opportunity
to redefine the meaning of learning
Little Data captures what we do as individuals and more
importantly, what we know about ourselves
Patterns emerge in these "complex contexts” where best
practices "can’t be ferreted out"
Social learning is attempt to reflect on the conditions in
which learning takes place

7. Social learning is about providing bridges between formal
education and the challenges of specific organizations and
markets
In these learning spaces, the bridges are social, interactive,
dynamic and mobile
Students and instructors have the ability not only to take
and consult their own notes, but those of their colleagues
in real time
These sources of Little Data are collected over time, both
within in each book, and between books on similar themes
