Communicating social research findings more effectively: what can...: Ingenta Connect

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Many of the practices around the sharing of social research are stuck in 'information-telling' mode and fail to draw on approaches from other fields that are concerned with influencing deeper beliefs, values, assumptions or mental models. This paper seeks to scope out some of these other areas of 'influencing' to consider their relevance for the communication of social research.

Report from Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A very welcome report form Silverman Research for the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) chimes well with the sentiments often expressed in this blog.

The report argues that, as a result of the relentless advance of social media, the employee voice is evolving rapidly. The greatest difference is the shifting patterns of communication, from being one-way or two-way to being multi-directional: social technologies are allowing new forms of collaboration that comprise mechanisms for making collective decisions. The result is a new form of collective employee voice that is mobile, organised and intelligent.

The report concludes:

To date, much of the conversation [about social media] within organisations has been about the risks and threats (especially to employers) that may be associated with social media. However, the perils of an open approach to employee voice and the benefits of more traditional closed systems are often overrated. Moreover, there is little organisations can do to stem the rise of social media. Organisations should be designing their future in employee voice, before it designs them.

I don't think there is much to add to that except to say read this report (only about 26 pages) and show it to people in your organisation who see more risk than opportunity.

My 2017 (11 th annual) survey of Top tools for Learning is open for voting here, and there have already been a few hundred entries, so I thought I'd share my personal top 10 tools for this year. If you'd like to share your own 10 favourite learning tools here, then please send them to me at editor@modernworkplacelearning.com and I'll collate them into some follow-up articles.

TWITTER is still the place where I can quickly and easily keep up with what's happening in the world - and in particular what others are up to with their ideas and activities around workplace learning. But I do prefer to use TWEETDECK rather than the web interface - since it's so easy to set up different columns for my news feed, mentions, hashtags I follow, etc. This makes it much easier for me to get the overall picture of what's happening in the moment. It's still the first place I turn to in the morning.

I also couldn't do without FEEDLY - my RSS reader - where I aggregate well over 300 blog and website feeds. So this as another way important way for me to keep up to date with new ideas and thinking in workplace technology, the future of work, and other related topics.

WORDPRESS is the platform I use for all my websites - Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies, my blog, Centre for Modern Workplace Learning, the MWL Magazine and 30 Day Learning Challenges. WordPress is a very powerful web publishing too and I have my own WordPress installations which I enhance with the use of a large number of 3rd party plugins . I also make good use of PIXABAY's image library.

I use YAMMER to host the online workshops I run, since, for me, it is all about facilitating and guiding a social learning experience. And I also want to show the workshop participants how valuable a platform it can be to underpin both informal social learning as well as formal (guided) social learning in their own organisations.

I am now making increasing use of ZOOM for video meetings, as it is really good to be able to see so many people's live videos in one place - rather than just a list of names in a webinar tool. Whilst WHATSAPP has become my key communication tool with individuals and groups.

Recently I have become attached to a new web browser, VIVALDI as I like a number of the features that make it stand out from other browsers. If you don't know Vivaldi, take a look at 9 reasons to switch to Vivaldi browser today.

Finally, I'm still in love with my APPLE WATCH!People often ask me what it is about it that I like so much, and I say it is not just one thing - it is all the little things that make it a very useful productivity tool for me - reminders, alerts, notifications and so on.
