Web 2.0: Big, Vague, Beautiful The Challenges of Implementing Learning 2.0 Chris King, PMP
Defining Web 2.0 “The best thing about web 2.0 is that -- nobody knows what the [heck] it means. Even the ones who coined the term are still struggling to find a compact definition. And this is the true beauty and power of Web 2.0 -- it makes people think.”  Kathy Sierra, “The best thing about web 2.0,” October 11, 2005, Creating Passionate Users blog http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2005/10/the_best_thing_.html 2 c 2009 Chris King

This stuff really works 19 c 2009 Chris King Technology is a multiplier, extending learning beyond the classroom
This stuff really works c 2009 Chris King 20 Low-profile learning (often user-generated) has low overhead and low barriers to creation

Learners Violated Adult Learning principles Technology inhibits before it enhances Don’t assume tool competency Management as a barrier 40 c 2009 Chris King
“I’m scared…hold me” 41 c 2009 Chris King Adults learn best in a safe, inclusive, comfortable environment where their opinions are respected, their learning has practical applications, there are opportunities to share experiences, and which accommodates different levels of self-direction.

  1. Because now is the moment of acceptance!
  2. Are you familiar with Gartner’s Hype Cycle? This tracks the progress of technologies towards acceptance by mainstream users. The stages are the Technology TriggerThe Peak of Inflated ExpectationsThe Trough of DisillusionmentThe Slope of Enlightenment and The Plateau of ProductivityCheck out where we are in the hype cycle for these emerging technologies. This is from 2008. Notice where some Learning 2.0 tools are on the curve. Microblogging (Twitter)Social Computing Platforms (blogs, wikis, tagging, RSS, social networking)Public Virtual Worlds (Second Life)Web 2.0 (of course)BloggingWikisAnd perhaps most importantly, Basic Web Services, which is the architectural backbone behind Web 2.0. And note that Web Services took less than 2 years to reach mainstream adoption. That’s a testament to its power!Now, all of this to say that we are at a moment of acceptance for web 2.0 tools. And that has important implications for those of us trying to figure out how to better train people!So, the technology is being accepted. And there are currently two important trends converging on this moment of acceptance….
  3. Now let’s look at who is impacted by all of this hard stuff and how.
  4. Another new design framework made possible by Learning 2.0 is the extension of learning beyond a single event. The technology allows an eight hour course to be delivered in eight one-hour blocks once a week over two months. Blogs and wikis allow for the discussion to continue in the time between class sessions. Podcasts and RSS deliver content to the learners in measured doses, keeping the information fresh in their minds. Although this requires more forethought from designers, the greater granularity allows for better retention rates and deeper learning.
  5. The other part of the adult learner equation is management. As much as we need to communicate the new expectations of Learning 2.0 to our learners, we must spend equal time educating managers on the expectations and benefits of this new learning style. Managers are accustomed to losing a day or two of productivity when sending their people to training. As formal course time is shrinking, they need to expect the frequency of work interruptions to increase even though the duration is decreasing. We have to educateManagers on the advantages of learners staying engaged with the topic longer. Workers may be back at their desks, but the learning continues. It is up to us to communicate this value to managers.What’s the best way to accomplish this? Incorporate Learning 2.0 into your management development programs and let managers encounter the power of Learning 2.0 for themselves. The best way for managers to appreciate both the power of Learning 2.0 and the difference fromtraditioal learning is to experience it first-hand.END LEARNER SECTION
  6. Now, what I want to do in this part is solicit some examples from you guys. I’ll give you an example of one of the things I’ve done, and then I’d like you to share some of your stories. Good or bad. Let’s end with a general discussion of Learning 2.0, both the perils and the successes.
