Review of the Mighybell platform that Lean In is using, started by Ning CEO Gina Bianchini after she left Ning. She says it is built for collaboration. I wanted to explore it because I was not impressed with it when setting up the Lean In Circle site, and wondered if it was developed for Lean In or was a stand alone product.

About the platform that Lean In is using for Lean In Circles.

Although this article is from 2009, the intent is not dissimilar to us. A Ning site. Their work centers on a social-networking Web site that would allow women to share information about online education and serve as mentors to one another. It's called the Collaborative Online Resource Environment for Women (Core4women)

Interesting article from 2009 about women telling women about online learning

This paper written by George Siemens in 2008 on Learning in Networks raises issues very similar to those we are raising in our discussion at CPSquare. This paper also has implications for how the Women's Learning Studio is launched into practice in its discussion of teacher as learning atelier, concierge, etc. Google Scholar, Scopus, and open access journals offer increased access to academic resources; an extension to more informal approaches such as regular internet search and Wikipedia. Social software (blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, instant messaging, Skype, ning) provide opportunities for learners to create, dialogue about, and disseminate information. But what becomes of the teacher? How do the practices of the educator change in networked environments, where information is readily accessible? How do we design learning when learners may adopt multiple paths and approaches to content and curriculum? How can we achieve centralized learning aims in decentralized environments? This paper will explore the shifting role of educators in networked learning, with particular emphasis on curatorial, atelier, concierge, and networked roles of educators, in order to assist learners in forming diverse personal learning networks for deep understanding of complex fields.

Interviews with four CoP practitioners including Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, May 2012. PLP uses three buoys for worksites--Ning, wiki, and website.

Upcoming workshop by Jane Bozarth on working out loud, December 19, 2014, online. When you ask, What does learning look like? no one answers, Someone talking in front of a room. We learn by doing, and by telling what we're doing, and by watching others do things, and by showing others how we did something. Narrating work can solve so many problems for both organizations and individuals, from capturing tacit knowledge, to easing transitions when workers depart, to reducing duplication of effort, to further enabling informal and social learning. What does it look like, and how can Training & Development (T&D) help it happen?
