The Social Learning Guidebook

Julian Stodd is a writer, researcher, artist, and explorer. His work explores the context of the Social Age, a place where technology has evolved what it means to be human. His work typically exists at the intersection of systems: Social Leadership, Social and Collaborative Learning, and views of Culture, Innovation, and Change held more as social movements than structural affairs. Julian has written seventeen books and works to a principle of #WorkingOutLoud, sharing iterations every day and frequently finding new ways to be wrong.

This short Social Learning Guidebook is intended to highlight areas that you should consider when you look at learning transformation. It is not intended to have all the answers, but rather to offer some frameworks and models that you may want to adopt, and include activities that you can do along the way. Every section includes boxed descriptions related to 'What you should know', and 'What you should do'. These are not definitive, but intended to help you take the first steps. My previous work on 'Learning Methodology' [2013] covers more about the underlying learning science and pedagogy. If that's something you're interested in, be sure to check it out! This book, like much of my work, is intended to iterate rapidly as my own understanding evolves, and to be rapidly disposable, as our research and practice within Sea Salt Learning develops. For now, however, I hope that this book will contribute to your efforts to transform your Organisation.
