Social Learning and LMS: rivals or partners?
CERTPOINT Systems is hosting a webinar with Johanna Sadoudi, Founder & CEO VITAMINDS and David Wentworth, Senior Learning Analyst, Brandon Hall Group about whether social learning can succeed alongside the LMS.
Roslyn, NY. 9 November, 2012. The latest in a series of thought leadership webinars hosted by leading global learning technologies innovator CERTPOINT Systems debates the issue “can social learning succeed alongside an LMS?”. Johanna Sadoudi, VITAMINDS founder and CEO and former Learning Development International Director at L’Oréal, joins David Wentworth, senior leading analyst Brandon Hall Group, to explore how social learning and LMS partner for real business impact.
The CERTPOINT complimentary webinar will see Sadoudi and Wentworth reveal how collaborative, informal social learning blends with the course and resource-based approach of LMS to support business growth.
Comments Ara Ohanian, chief happiness officer and CEO CERTPOINT Systems. “To drive business growth, today’s learning and development organizations must consider all approaches to learning as complimentary and interconnected. We live and work in a socially connected world and people learn organically through conversation and dialogue – the new generation LMS ensures that tools are available to learners without the necessity of an e-learning course. Social learning and the new LMS generation are natural partners not rivals.”
Sadoudi will draw on real life examples of learning and her experience in industry – in her former role at beauty and cosmetics global giant L’Oréal she was responsible for introducing and deploying a learning management system to 60,000 people across over 45 markets.
Based on practical experience Sadoudi will examine:
- Do LMS and social learning clash?
- Why collaborative learning is worth embedding into workplace learning
- Five top tips for adding social learning to learning
- Measuring success - which metrics to choose?
- How to ensure that learners and managers are clear about collaboration
The webinar is sponsored by CERTPOINT Systems and takes place on Wednesday 14 November, 1.00 pm to 2.00 pm EST. Regsitration is available at: Can social learning succeed alongside the LMS?.
