On a average an Indian spends 3 Hrs on social media via mobile. The learners are feeling more comfortable on learning new thing on facebook, wats app, Linkedin, Twitter...the list goes on.

How an organization can build the platform for social learning:- Please, don't connect social media learning to knowledge management or companies blog/Wikipedia. Because social learning is more on to the emotional side of the individual. Learners are not at all blocked to express anything and anytime. No moderator exists.

We the lnd professional should promote the social learning by not engineering the entire process. Rather allow the learning to be the key stake holders of the activity. Never create the firewalls between the people learning abilities and learning opportunities. Allow the people to go for ride on any internal forums for learning new things. It can be a questions related to the technology or about the business management.

By creating a social media learning app can be very helpful since most of the employees would like to learn on the go. It is perceived that the social media learning is a wave which would fades away as the time passes by. In fact social learning is going to be the key contributor towards the organization learning and development.
