One aspect of our working lives in which collaboration plays an important role is learning. So much of what we learn comes through mutual problem-solving and the sharing of experience. But if you do not benefit from working within the same four walls as your peers, then in the past your opportunities for collaboration were limited to the occasional – and let’s face it, highly expensive – face-to-face event. Social media have the potential to maximise collaborative learning, not just nowand thenbut on an on-going basis, and not just when and where it suits others, but at a time and place of your own choosing.
