7 Challenges to Social Learning Infographic

Social Learning is a self-propagating concept, that is- once a social learning culture is achieved in an organization. Here we try to enlist the top challenges which hinder social learning from becoming a reality in organizations:

  1. Garnering support from seniors
    Managers and executives may feel that formal training is the key to learning and hence hinder the development of an informal and dynamic social learning culture.
  2. Motivating employees
    All employees may not be outspoken or confident about their ideas and thus not exchange them with others. They may simply be reluctant to make the extra effort that a culture change demands.
  3. Intangibility
    Social learning cannot be measured because it is all about learning from everyone around through discussions, observation and experience.
  4. Security issues
    Firewalls, security and legacy system interface challenges may be major concerns when an enterprise-wide social learning project is launched.
  5. Providing bandwidth
    Online social learning needs a fair share of bandwidth, especially the bandwidth-hungry activities like videos, teleconferencing, etc.
  6. Monitoring
    Some amount of monitoring of content must be done to ensure that employees do not go too much off track.
  7. Overcoming the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to design
    Social learning elements when integrated into an LMS should be based on the audience.
