Twitter Tips for Corporate Learning

One of the most common misconceptions about Twitter is that people are just posting what they had for breakfast and other miscellaneous (dare I say useless?) facts. Well, those people are out there, but the fact is, they are likely not a part of the numerous substantive conversations taking place on Twitter. 
 
Twitter offers you the opportunity to curate a community in which you can share bite-size, high-value tweets as part of an ongoing conversation around a particular topic. So how does this apply to corporate learning? A few uses just off the top of my head…
 

• Have learners “livetweet” classroom training
• Set up a course “hashtag” so participants can keep conversation going
• Have learners identify and “follow” virtual mentors to learn from
• Network, share best practices and find answers to your greatest HR and training challenges
