Slack has become very popular tool and has rapidly risen up the Top Tools for Learning list. In May 2018 Slack announced\u00a0it had 8 million daily active users across 500,000 organizations, with 77% of the Fortune 100 having adopted it. Meanwhile <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toptools4learning.com\/microsoft-teams\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" rel=\"nofollow\">Microsoft Teams<\/a>\u00a0(the team hub space within Office365) is also increasing in popularity, and it is said that\u00a0Teams\u00a0is the\u00a0fastest growing business\u00a0app\u00a0in\u00a0Microsoft\u00a0history.<\/p>\n<p>An additional advantage for using a platform like Slack (or Microsoft Teams) is that they support\u00a0apps and integrations\u00a0from a wide range of tools and platforms,\u00a0which means that you can integrate all your learning activities and resources right inside the workspace (as shown in the diagram below).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5567\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"http:\/\/modernworkplacelearning.com\/cild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/seamless.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernworkplacelearning.com\/cild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/seamless.png 2080w, https:\/\/modernworkplacelearning.com\/cild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/seamless-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/modernworkplacelearning.com\/cild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/seamless-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/modernworkplacelearning.com\/cild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/seamless-600x451.png 600w, https:\/\/modernworkplacelearning.com\/cild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/seamless-624x469.png 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are further significant advantages of creating a seamless working and learning environment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It means that your thinking about \u201clearning\u201d is not constrained by a dedicated learning platform that perpetuates the traditional course approach. In other words, using a collaboration platform lets you think differently not just about what you do but how you measure the success of your learning initiatives. That is, it helps to think in terms of performance outcomes \u2013 i.e. what individuals need to be able to do as a result \u2013 rather than on learning outcomes or course completions.<\/li>\n<li>It means you can start from a position of thinking about the people in your organization and how you can encourage connections and engagement between them \u2013 rather than focusing on creating content.<\/li>\n<li>It means that all the knowledge and experiences shared in more structured events are not locked away in a separate learning system.<\/li>\n<li>It means that it\u2019s not just about internal experts telling people what they should do or know, but about peers sharing their thoughts and experiences, and learning from one another.<\/li>\n<li>It means that an individual\u2019s personal activity stream will consist of all their subscribed activity streams \u2013 from all their formal learning initiatives as well as from their work teams and communities too.<\/li>\n<li>It means that \u201clearning\u201d is no longer seen as a separate activity from working; and that for the first time it can truly become a continuous, social experience in the workflow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Last updated: August 6, 2019 at 6:40 am<\/em><\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the heart of a seamless working and learning environment is your organisation&#8217;s social collaboration platform.
