Social Learning Theory

We know that people learn from each other in both formal and informal ways. Two people who have dedicated much of their life to understanding social learning and developing a framework around it are Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner. In this session, I speak with them about the big ideas in their book, Learning to Make a Difference. They share ways that we can live and learn intentionally in a social learning context.
