In a decade where things change so fast and loads of new information is generated on a daily basis Just In Time learning in the workplace sounds reasonable. With the presence of internet and mobile technology, we will have to develop new set of skills which enables us to learn while working. Some of the tools we can leverage for Just In Time learning are:
- Search engines such as Google where you can get information instantly.
- Content libraries that can be created to store crucial information that can be accessed easily. For example success stories (and those for when things didn't go well) and work processes can be collated for easy access and learning, meaning people can learn quick from experience.
- Wiki technologies that facilitate people to share knowledge.
- Use of question and answer sites such as Quora.
- Social networking sites which allow people of similar interests to learn from each other.
- Instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp that can be used to ask questions and get answers instantly.
There are much more tools than these but after reading an article by Bruce Tulgan posted inTraining Magazine titled, Learning Just in Time, these are my thoughts. What do you think? Do you know of any other tools that can facilitate Just in Time learning?
