The consumption and sharing of knowledge online is now the core means by which we learn and work. Understanding motivations for learning, and meeting the expectations of our learners has never been more important. Brightwave's award-winning continuous social learning platform tessello has been developed to meet the needs of forward thinking organisations today.

Hosted by next generation learning partner Brightwave and chaired by Brightwave CEO Charles Gould, Cultures of Contribution will explore the conception and creation of new digital environments that engage and motivate learners to collaborate and produce purposeful and valuable social learning communities.

"I'm looking forward to chairing this discussion on a massively important topic for learning at work. We have three distinct angles on the subject of consuming and sharing knowledge that will come together to provide a unique picture - of how to develop, foster and improve collaborative online learning."
Charles Gould, CEO, Brightwave
