Hiya,

I was a delegate in your session at the learning technologies seminar and I enjoyed your presentation very much.

With the above diagram, I was wandering where motivation would sit. For any learner to be prepared to share and to join the social learning experience surely we need to consider the WIIFM factor?

If learner can not see the benefit of engaging, why should they?

I have I found this to be a real objection to social learning and a willingness to share.

This has not been an objection to learning in general, but just about sharing ideas.

You gave an example where the re numeration for a team was based on being first past the post, andI work in a sales environment which has a similar philosophy. However they do not share the same pot of reward, but there is competition.

I would appreciate any thoughts and ideas on this, other then changing the way the business is run.

Over the coming months I am running a programme whichever hope to install some social learning behaviours with a select group who have been
Briefed on what I expect from them across the period. We have not yet seen this happen so I am interested to see how much social learning will actually take place.

Happy to let you know if you are interested.

Kind regards
