Social learning leverages interactions between individuals to benefit the entire organization beyond simple communication. It can extract more value from talent management investments by transforming systems from task tools to information destinations. SumTotal Social Learning adds a social learning module to SumTotal solutions to create communities for sharing content and collaborating around learning needs. It provides tools like discussions forums, blogs, and document libraries integrated with the learning system and powered by Microsoft SharePoint.
