I tried a couple of these questionnaires and reviewed them by way of their application in a corporate workplace.

I’m glad that this course has made reference to them.  I’m ready to learn – but how much of our corporate learners are for online learning?

(Interesting to note that in our world – our ‘online learning’ is static e-learning courses and NOT the synchronous or asynchronous learning online forums that academia is also used to. This is because in my corporates we don’t have the platforms to allow these.  In our company, we use Sharepoint that allows discussion forums and the like, but our Learning and Development consultants haven’t packaged up their learning solutions to include a social element so that the discussions and learning can occur elsewhere through these platforms.

This means that as we slowly migrate to this learning, we definitely need a checklist like this to set our corporate learner expectations!

Hi everyone

My name is Helen Blunden and I’m a Virtual Learning Consultant at the National Australia Bank. I’ve been in Learning and Development for 23 years mainly in private sector with strong corporate background.  I’d like to join this group if possible.

I’m taking the course to see what can be applied in a corporate L&D programs so some stuff may be relevant, others not so – however, it’s still a massive learning opportunity for me.

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, Twitter (@ActivateLearn) and my blog at: http://activatelearning.wordpress.com

My reflections for the first week activities are here:

http://activatelearning.wordpress.com/2013/04/07/week-1-introduction-to-octel/

In our organisation, we’re considered quite ahead in social learning space – although we do have a crappy LMS (SAP).  I’m working on a project currently to implement a social learning platform http://www.weteachme.org so that we have a platform to allow anyone in our organisation to run their own coaching sessions to anyone in the bank.  Effectively it’s peer to peer learning but the platform allows registrations and promotions and evaluations quite easily (without the need for the LMS Administrator team to dictate what we need to do and how).  It’s going to introduce a lot more flexibility in running training.

Also our organisation strongly supports Yammer – we have Sharepoint and online work spaces but we still have some way to go to fully integrate these.  My role is to support the business to use virtual classrooms, online learning spaces, podcasting, blogs and wikis in in their learning programs.
