I found this 4-minute video at Jane Hart’s site and recommend you watch it.

Social networks and social learning are changing how we work and grow our knowledge. Networks and trust are critical. It is important that we assist colleagues to participate for the health and relevance of our workplaces.

The presentation is not dynamic but the intellectual understanding of our new times is deep. I particularly liked the use of Marshall McCluhan’s theories in the presentation.
