Successfully Apply Social Learning to Your Existing eLearning Programs | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Your organization no doubt sees the value of an eLearning program. You may have invested in a user-friendly Learning Management System (LMS), on-demand training and the necessary number of developers to create sufficient content.  However, your results may not be what you expect if you don’t add a human touch to eLearning. You need to incorporate a social learning component.
