Human resources departments are increasingly focusing their efforts on improving the training provided in companies and making it truly meaningful for workers. Under this context of innovation in training, in recent years, companies that opt ​​for social learning have multiplied.

More than 70% of Top Employers ranked companies in Spain have already integrated social learning into their online training projects. It's a high percentage that is explained according to the results obtained from collaborative learning, such as the promotion of communication and collaboration among the members of a company, as well as facilitating a quick and effective transfer of what has been learned to the position of work.

All this supposes a great advantage for the companies interested in training their employees, since it is demonstrated that the contents that are learned, begin to be forgotten very soon after having studied them. In this sense, collaborative or social learning tools will be of great help, given that they favor the internalization of knowledge, through reflection and sharing.

In addition, social learning achieves a greater internalization and assimilation of knowledge than other traditional training methods, offering students an apprenticeship in which they will become the protagonists and where they will also reinforce their interpersonal relationships.

As indicated by OKN Learning, LMS platform in the cloud for the integral management of all training processes and corporate knowledge, despite all these benefits, there are still many companies that resist its use, whether due to distrust, false beliefs or due to technical difficulties when implementing it, as it may be the excessive hierarchy in the companies, or the lack of time and technological resources.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the understanding of this new model and explain its correct application, OKN Learning, has programmed a webinar focused on social learning, which will be entitled How collaborative learning can help you improve the results of your online training and that will take place next June 6.

The webinar will be in charge of Isis Busquets, Training Specialist of OKN Learning, which will explain why companies have a hard time opting for social learning for the training of their collaborators and how to make the leap to implement it in an e-learning program.
