The Book
Welcome to a chapter-by-chapter summary of The New Social Learning. Each week, we will release a chapter summary that will identify the background and basis for the chapter. In addition, each summary will include a section dedicated to “Responding to Critics,” a collection of points that showcase the benefits of social media as a key learning mechanism for any organization.
Feel free to join the conversation by commenting on the pages. We know that you have a lot to say!

It’s really cool when people start making connections between what happens in our everyday lives — how we learn from each other — and the content of this book and why it applies to our work lives too. Here’s a great example:

Great article. I’ve looked up at least 3 things this weekend that 10-15 years ago I may have had to hire someone else to do… I’ve self-serviced my coffee maker (thank you seattlecoffeegear.com), I learned how to properly use a leaf-blower, and I installed a radio into an 96 Ford. I wouldn’t say that this is my average weekend, but it certainly shows what a brain-share/resource the internet has become and how frequently I rely on Social Learning.
I’d be curious to know the economic impact that Social Learning has had on businesses that used to rely upon people not knowing things that they are now picking up online.
Does anyone know of any good studies on that?
