DESCRIPTION
The 22nd World of Learning Conference and Exhibition took place on 30th September and 1st October at the NEC in Birmingham. Brightwave's CEO Charles Gould and the Pearl Group's founder David Pearl jointly presented a free seminar to day two attendees: How to capture and harness the true value of informal learning? The digital revolution has fundamentally altered the way we learn - for work and for ourselves. To find out what they need to perform better in their roles, learners will now take to the web, via their tablets and smartphones, to their preferred social media, and find the skills and knowledge they need from the people they know and trust. The Tin Can API puts learners in control of their own learning by collecting meaningful data about the full range of online and offline experiences they may have. Early adopters of the specification are already using this new capacity to help learners capture and harness the everyday experiences and learning resources they discover, and this is redrawing the way we can think about workplace e-learning, opening a new horizon of opportunities and benefits for how e-learning is conceived, designed and distributed. Key learning points: ● Early adoption examples of dynamic social learning in real-world scenarios. ● How to use social media to create personalised learning experiences. ● The role of digital learning in large scale transformation. ● How Tin Can API changes the landscape of e-learning.

What does this look like?
Demo
Give learners control of their own learning: access to what they need to do, plus what they may want to do
Core training plus additional resources
Enable learners to draw their own external, informal learning into the system
Give time for reflection on informal learning
Enable that learning to be shared and discussed with other learners
Enable benchmarking of formal and informal learning against tasks and learning objectives
Enable coaching and motivation for learners, from their peers and line managers
Enable this to happen anytime, anywhere. Quickly, easily.
Why does this matter?
• Improve productivity• Reduce cost of training and staff
turnover• Create value
Many organisations are already embracing this combination of formal and informal learning
Graduate Onboarding
Opportunity for more effective onboarding
86% of organisations agree it takes six months for a new employee to decide to stay with the company. But only 39% of orgs have an onboarding programme that lasts more than six months.

So why is this useful?
• One place for all learning – formal, informal, social
• Transportable log of all learning experiences
• Capturing evidence of learning for CPD or qualifications
• Build the knowledge capital of the organisation
