Social Learning
We are continually placed in social learning situations. Whether we are continuing education, learning new skills at work, or participating in a club; learning often takes place in social settings. By fully understanding the process, it is possible to enhance both social and learning skills to reap the full benefits of any social learning situation.
Setting the Right Group Dynamic
Most people belong to groups. Groups may be formal, such as work groups, or informal, like book clubs. The success of any group depends on its dynamic. Group dynamics are how the members of the group interact. Leaders have a responsibility to establish a strong foundation in groups. Setting the right dynamics in communication, collaboration, and sharing, will improve the success of the group and enhance the learning process.
Communicating
No group can be effective without constant and effective communication. It is essential that all members of the group understand this concept. The methods of communication will vary with each social group. Some large groups will require more centralized communication than other groups do. Many smaller groups benefit from open communication. This allows all members to actively communicate and share ideas, which encourages creativity and builds teams.

- Be positive and respectful
