Based on the interactions between the various members of a group of learners, the Social learning reinforces the commitment of individuals and their involvement in the company.
Digital learning solutions have continued to develop and the rise of social networks and mobile applications has made it possible to equip them with more advanced and more effective learning functionalities.
Today, many schools and companies have their own MOOCs to distribute their courses to a large number of learners. However, faced with an increasingly large amount of information that is sometimes complex to assimilate and the rise of remote working, the digital learning market must face the following challenges: break the isolation of the learner and make him active in the learning process. To meet these expectations, social learning is the most appropriate solution because it contributes in particular to improving the engagement of its learners.
Commitment to social learning
How to motivate your learners with social learning ?
Interactions for a more active learning process: social learning relies on interactions between group members, so each individual is both a learner and a trainer in the learning process. This system helps to stay more active in the learning process, which is pedagogically beneficial.
A process that promotes engagement: an active employee will feel more motivated in a social learning course and will tend to better retain information than in the context of passive training. In fact, traditional e-learning or face-to-face training courses tend to isolate the learner, unlike Social learning. This apprenticeship system makes it possible to deal with the lack of motivation or the abandonment of training because the learner community is placed at the center of the transmission of knowledge. Thus, the more interactions there are between the members of the group, the more motivated the collaborators will be.
The development of team spirit and commitment
Social learning is based on feeling of belonging to a collective, it will therefore create a real team spirit within the group of learners, and more generally within the company, by allowing learners to feel useful. This method of training values knowledge and the sharing of information by inviting all learners to ask questions or to contribute to the debate. Encouraging cooperation and the sharing of information helps to promote mutual aid and Optimize collaboration in business.
By strengthening relationships between employees and developing group cohesion, organizations promote engagement through social learning. There is thus a real improvement in pedagogical but also organizational effectiveness thanks to collaborative work.
Social learning therefore has many advantages and strengthens the commitment, from learners to training and the company but also from the company to employees, by playing on the following levers:
- La cost reduction : all their resources are found internally, with the employees themselves. Businesses do not have to rely on outside parties.
- La creating a sense of belonging to a collective that encourages mutual aid, involvement and emulation.
- The development of creativity and the sharing of ideas, which makes the team more productive.
As you will have understood, the commitment of learners is not to be taken lightly!
