A Community Approach to Learning: Cultivating Your Digital Habitat for Professional Development

Associations are investing much of their strategic and financial resources in two separate spheres; learning and community. There is recognition of the importance in creating synergy between these two areas, to build a vibrant, organic foundation. How do associations support and promote professional development through community engagement? How can we leverage online communities and learning management systems for social learning? What education objectives are best supported through collaboration? In this webinar Ben Martin will address these questions and discuss how we can create social learning habitats.

Learning objectives:

• Why social learning is important and effective
• How to coach subject matter experts to be great teachers in a community context
• What to look for in social learning technologies
