Pilots or Beta?
This is quite different from perpetual Alpha, or never getting to something concrete, as Jay Cross commented here several years ago:
On the other hand, Gartner’s Anthony Bradley says that piloting does not make sense for social media projects:
This practice is not prudent for social media where the software complexity should be minimal and the primary goal is to get people interacting. If you take the cynefin approach for working in complex environments you first Probe then Sense and then Respond in order to develop emergent practices . Backward-looking

Understanding "learning" - some more thoughts
This has been part of the ongoing discussion we have been having about the hijacking of terms like informal and social learning by "snake oil sellers".
Jay Cross has become well known for helping organisations understand that learning is either formal or informal .
In my Social Learning Handbook I identified 5 categories of learning : Formal Structured Learning , Personal Directed Learning My colleagues at the Internet Time Alliance have been thinking a lot about what "learning" and being a "learner" means. Harold Jarche looked at these 5

Follow the Leaders: Sharing Jay Cross' Collected Wisdom
The recent Online Educa International Conference on Technology Supported Learning and Training featured a stream of fascinating workshops in and around informal learning that was organized and facilitated by Jay Cross (author of Informal Learning: Rediscovering the Natural Pathways That Inspire Innovation and Performance .) Today, Jay kindly sent around to participants of his workshop stream a wonderful set of links to all the rich content and out-front thinkers who contributed to his sessions and said, "Feel free to pass it to others." I attended a number of the workshops in this stream, that started with a session called "The Great Training Robbery" and included others such as "The New Era of Corporate Learning Unconference" and a Pecha Kucha Mini-Master Class (my first exposure to this cool presentation technique).

The 7 c’s of natural learning
In thinking about it (and borrowing heavily from some slides by Jay Cross ), I discerned (read: worked hard to fit :) 7 C’s of learning that characterize how we learn before schooling extinguishes the love of learning:

Social Media Goals
expo (part of the time with fellow miscreant Jay Cross ), and it led me to think a bit more about social media tools and approaches. We were prompted to visit Blue Kiwi , which is probably the leading European social media platform. Vignette , on the other hand, started as a CMS for KM, but then added social media around it. I spent yesterday touring the Web 2.0 After touring the floor, having lunch, and touring the floor some more before the keynotes, my reflections have to do with hybrids and implementation.

Seed, feed, & weed
Jay Cross talks about the learnscape , while I term it the performance ecosystem. Tags: design socia In my presentation yesterday, I was talking about how to get informal learning going. As many have noted, it’s about moving from a notion of being a builder, handcrafting (or mass-producing) solutions, to being a facilitator, nurturing the community to develop it’s own capabilities.

Promoting social media
The Big Question of the Month is “How do I communicate the value of social media as a learning tool to my organization?”. Now, this is late, but it’s because I’ve been getting ready for and then attending DevLearn (as always, was a great event), but Jay Cross and I spent a day talking about this issue in the larger picture of social learning in the media.
don’t talk about social learning, talk 8221;. Then, in last night’s #lrnchat , the question was asked again as part of the usual 3 question format.

Social learning in the enterprise
This past year, my Internet Time Alliance colleague Jane Hart changed her title to Social Learning Consultant . Whereas early e-learning was all about delivering content, primarily in the form of online courses, produced by experts and managed via learning management systems, Social Learning is about creating and sharing information and knowledge with other people using (often free) social media tools that support a collaborative approach to learning.
Why?
Social Learning is fast becoming recognised as a valuable way of supporting formal learning and enabling

Social Learning – Highlights
We released our first white paper, on Social Learning , at the Collaborative Enterprise last week.
For me, the essence of social learning is that as our work becomes more complex, we need faster feedback loops to stay on top of it. Social learning can give us more and better feedback if we engage our networks in order to develop emergent work practices. Courses, with their long development cycle, are inadequate to meet the learning and performance needs of those dealing with complexity. The course is an artifact of a time when information was scarce and connections were

Jay Cross interview with Ellen Wagner
Ellen Wagner, formerly with Adobe and now co-founder of Sage Road solutions, talks to Jay Cross about the future of learning technology. She talks about how important it is for us to be smart about where we put our energy in the future…hint: it’s not all about the chaos of social media. She comments on the lack, among researchers, of information on how to “cross the chasm, i.e. it’s good to know where you’re going, another thing to know how to get there . (JC) JC)
