Intended to:
Complement structured formal learning, record, organise and find knowledge and expertise, provide a user friendly peer to peer network.
CGK have experience of delivering solutions working within this framework already and Totara LMS does have social learning capabilities… now we have a purpose-built platform
Personal feed
Content types … file uploads, blogs, status updates
Display your content… in Pages
… in Groups
And importantly, connect with people
Tenants concept – use the system collaboratively, add themes per department organisations
Highly configurable, plug-able, interoperable (Leap2A spec): open source like Totara LMS. Take it in your direction – stand alone, use with Totara LMS
Bear in mind this is a very early look at Totara Social.
Improvements, development and UI streamlining already underway
Lots more to come……
