“There’s a real buzz about Social Learning at the moment and we’re using this idea and the theme of bees to explore some of the concepts behind Social Learning,” said aAron Pont, Learning Solutions Architect at Sponge UK.

Research suggests around 60 per cent of US companies are leveraging Social Learning activities, with nearly 30 per cent of L&D professionals in the UK expecting to see a growth in social in their organisation by 2017.
Instructional Designer at Sponge UK, Brayley Pearce, said: “Social Learning is rather opaque and organisations have to be careful not to over engineer the environments in which it’s happening.
“We hope to shed light on ways that companies can support and facilitate this natural tendency towards collaborative learning without getting too heavy-handed and stifling the process.”
