Working with Social Learning
In addition to the course discussions discussed in the previous section, Adobe Learning Manager also contains a full-fledged social learning engine. When activated, it provides an experience that bears many similarities to the most popular social networks:
- Learners can follow each other so they get notifications when someone they follow publishes something.
- Social learning posts are published on boards. The concept of boards is very similar to the concept of walls or stories, which are used by most mainstream social networks.
- Users can upvote (like) or downvote (dislike) any content posted.
- In addition to text-based posts, users can also publish multimedia content (such as audio files, videos, and images), files of different types, and URLs.
One of the main differences between the course discussion covered in the previous section and the social learning boards discussed here is that the latter is skill-related rather than course...
