Shi@ing from hierarchy to networks
By Jane Hart
“Par3cipa3ng with others to make sense of new ideas.” -‐ Marcia Connor “Learning is at the core of human existence and … is fundamentally a social phenomenon. It is social because our human nature is social, not just because (or when) we interact with others or use certain tools.” – E3enne & Beverly Wenger-‐Trayner “Social learning is structureless, the opposite of formal learning. Social transcends the tradi3onal organiza3onal boundaries of departments and divisions.” – Mark Britz
