The revolution that is social media means that everyone now can have access to the Social Web and a range of services and applications to support their own as well as their team’s learning, performance and productivity.
“Social media is not something you talk about it’s something you do!”
So here is an opportunity to find out about a wide range of tools that can help you and your team work smarter.
The Smart Worker’s Guide to Social Media (SWGSM) has been produced by Jane Hart of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies (C4LPT) and focuses on 4 main areas where social media can help you and your team
- Finding and using content on the Social Web
- Creating and sharing content
- Joining and building networks and communities
- Improving productivity
Altogether there there are 30 short Assignments (see Contents list on right) which provide introductory reading, examples, links to further resources, and a short activity to work on.
To purchase access to the materials in this Guide, please go to the Social Learning Centre
