This excellent concept will be covered in my next blog post on Océ but the story today is about their wiki experiences. Samuel said that since they have other tools for activities such as file sharing and blogging , this makes the wiki better as it is only used for what it does best. They set up meeting agendas and share presentations in this wiki

. I’ve used the captioned phrase often in presentations about the impact of the Web on our societies’ institutions and commonly-accepted social dynamics.  Social tools like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Wikis and Blogging are placing in the hands of everyone communication tools that give them access to global audiences within seconds with virtually no cost and no gatekeepers. I think it’s correct .. think about it for a minute.  Brought to you by: Work Literacy

In formal learning, we should be presenting meaningful and authentic tasks, and asking learners to solve them, ideally collaboratively.  By using tools like blogs for recording and sharing personal learning and information updates, wikis to collaborate, discussion forums to converse, and blogs and microblogs to track what others think are important, we provide ways to naturally learn together. Yesterday I talked about the seeding, feeding, and weeding necessary to develop a self-sustaining network. I Brought to you by: Work Literacy

In my presentation yesterday, I was talking about how to get informal learning going.  They may need discussion forums, blogs , wikis, and IM.  As many have noted, it’s about moving from a notion of being a builder, handcrafting (or mass-producing) solutions, to being a facilitator, nurturing the community to develop it’s own capabilities.  Jay Cross talks about the learnscape , while I term it the performance ecosystem.

To help me plan out the direction and content for the Tramp and Tumble blog over the next couple of months I created a mind map to collect and sort the various topics that I want to discuss there.

Because lending assistants are familiar with the forum, they’ve found this to be an effective pattern. How Did They Get There?

But that leaves an open question: do you still use pilots for your wikis, blogs , and other social software implementations, or are they a waste of time? In one sense its a little strange for Idinopulos to question the need for pilots, since Socialtexts switch to freemium was pitched to us with pilots as one important use case. We generally feel that the premise Idinopulos presents is correct; interaction among workers in a tiny subset of your organization isnt a fair test
