leuven - 05.09.07 - report discussion groups on social software in business-education

implementation of social software in business requires it-support, digital didactic helpdesk and legal protection of privacy

traditional classroom-education offers standards of quality, duration, certification, but e-learning can be implemented for cost-reduction and become on-the-job training

life-long learning

broadband internet is necessary to use social software and this may not be available to everyone

broadband internet and e-mail is not available to everyone in the company

for teachers of inservice training, not enough support

replacing traditional forms of training with computer-based training should not entail an increased workload

no clear distinction between working and learning (can be positive and negative)
