Social Learning

Social Learning can be done in three ways: Social streaming, live chat and discussion groups. Social streaming involves displaying news, announcements and updates from learners. Through live chat, learners can view a directory of available learners and get in touch immediately. Threads can be created where questions are asked and learners vote on the answers. These votes can earn them points which add to their position on the leaderboard.

Group discussions can act as a team-based learning. Learners can have discussion groups where the content of the learning course is discussed, this acts as team-based learning, ensuring that all learners get an in-depth understanding of the work. With live chat, learners can view a directory of available learners and get in touch immediately.
