SOCIAL LEARNING PLATFORM
Abara LMS encourages learners to interact with their peers, managers, and instructors by providing avenues for social learning. These include discussion forums and Instructor/Expert Q&A with learners, with an internal chat system coming soon!



WHAT IS SOCIAL LEARNING?
By nurturing an environment of experience and information sharing among employees, organizations successfully develop an engaged workforce with minimal investments.
Social learning is not limited to just observations and sharing. A major part of the peer-to-peer knowledge sharing process involves active guidance and support as well.
Social learning allows employees to learn from the experiences of their colleagues while also supporting and guiding each other. This completes the process of collaborative training.

DO YOU NEED SOCIAL LEARNING?
Social learning has successfully attempted to transform a once traditional and unstructured process of knowledge transfer into a formalized and recorded activity.
In the framework of 70:20:10, social learning is the 20% which forms the backbone of the learning that takes place in your organization. While the framework percentage numbers are itself debatable, if we accept the 70:20:10 ratio at face value, this 20% is more important than the 10% which is formal learning.
Social learning presents the advantage of integrating experience sharing with technology to achieve an improved form of modern learning.



ARE YOU FUTURE-READY?
Over-emphasis on formal learning or compliance-driven education is responsible for low engagement levels and poor adoption rates for LMSes. Taking the same approach for millennials and Gen Z is certainly going to make those stats worse.
In the year 2025, 75% of the global population will consist of millennials and Generation Z. Given their media preferences and affinity towards social media influencers who influence their decisions, learning from their peers and experts is native to their process of seeking solutions.
Early adopters of social learning will see an improvement in their training activities. For some, it will also fill the long-standing gap of low engagement levels as well.

WHAT MAKES A SOCIAL LEARNING PLATFORM?
A social learning platform is an LMS with features that allow learners to record, share, and interact with others on subject matter related to work as well as employee training and development.
An LMS with social interaction features is a dynamic training software. The LMS’ social learning tool is where moderated knowledge is transferred between users. All this information is stored on the LMS for future reference.
