Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that social learning networks can be implemented and achieve greater results than traditional e-Learning initiatives.

Design/methodology/approach – A case study is used to illustrate the social learning networks framework and pedagogical underpinnings.

Findings – The case study shows significant outcomes not previously experienced in face-to-face taught environments. However, there are inhibtors to successful implementation and these are highlighted for the reader.

Originality/value – The future of online learning lies with the development of social learning networks, but the value will only be experienced if organizational learning practitioners re-frame their practices to enable learners to share, collaborate, build knowledge, network and learn.
