Creating a culture of learning is dependent upon engaging learners in all aspects of your learning and training programs. One powerful way to facilitate a culture of learning within your organization is to provide opportunities for learners to share informal learning materials, contribute their own content ("UGC" - User Generated Content) and to provide an architecture that can support ongoing discussion, evaluation and promotion of those learning materials.

Unfortunately, informal learning materials contributed without opportunities to review and curate those materials based on their potential credibility and value to the organization can create legal and ethical barriers to the adoption of such an open culture of knowledge sharing within an organization. 

Join Dr. Allen Partridge, Head of Evangelism, Adobe and Katrina Marie Baker, Senior Learning Evangelist, Adobe to learn how these challenges can be easily addressed with Adobe Captivate Prime. You’ll discover how gamification, social learning, informal learning and user-generated content may be implemented easily in your organization – while still maintaining ample opportunities to review, track and curate those contributions.

In this session, learn the answers to key questions around using social & user-generated content to boost informal learning, including... 

• How do informal learning and user-generated content support an active culture of learning?
• How can you provide an architecture for tracking and moderating user-generated content?
• How does social learning enhance ongoing informal learning in your organization?
• How can an automated system help your non-specialists classify and align informal contributions to industry established skill/competency definitions?
