Brent Schlenker writes, "... that 80% to 90% of learning occurs informally outside of the classroom.

Users/Learners are empoweredto search, create, and collaborate, in order to fulfill intrinsic needs to learn new information.

Image via Wikipedia Yesterday was my first official day (this year) back in the school world.  We were asked to introduce ourselves.  I mentioned that I was first hired on as a Training Manager. A lot has happened in this time.  My focus has changed dramatically.  My day-to-day concerns are now centered around implementing, maintaining and strategizing around social learning / network / media initiatives with a side plate of formal training.  I am about to give a training this morning on how to hold difficult conversations, but these type of occurrences (where I do the actual training) ...

THIS POST asks, “Do you need to be a subject matter expert to run subject-based community?”  If I were to change it slightly, “Do you need to be a trainer or SME to be a Learning Facilitator in the social learning world?”  Then I got thinking, what are the skills of this Learning Facilitator?  How are they different than an instructional designer or a trainer? Here are some initial thoughts.  A learning facilitator will: Connect people together Encourage discussion and conversation, while at the same time monitor to make sure that the conversations are ...

Yesterday I wrote about being a Learning Facilitator - not getting in the way, but connection people to other people to learn - On or offline.  Then I stumbled upon TEACHSTREET.com.  They help anyone find courses on anything.  Photography in Portland, OR?  Done.  There were a number of courses for all levels.

What can this teach us about what we might do in our organizations?
