Session 1B
Social learning: What will you inspire?
Caroline Prendergast, BBC Training & Development Director
Eighty-five per cent of learning takes place on the job, through learning from others, sharing experiences and being challenged. BBC Training & Development we have created a number of platforms - formal and informal, online and offline - that provide opportunities for people to do just this. This session will look at Social Learning, a new way of defining and providing development.
Learning aims:
- Define and explain Social Learning
- Raise awareness of how Social Learning can lead to more effective long-term learning than traditional methods
- Share BBC experiences and case studies, including practical ways of providing social learning
