LSGW Backup:How would you show the impact of shared, user generated content in your organisation?

Mandy Randall-Gavin:Usually Survey Monkey or emails saying thanks

Alok:surveys

Tony C:Our issue is always to get buy in from the client

Annemiek Osinga:label content and attache it to skills/competences

Chris Davies:feedback, results from KPI's

Bob:engagement with the content

Bob:view etc

Anna Sasiak:yes

Paul B:Yes

Stu Bailey:Loud and clear

Mandy Randall-Gavin:Yay!!

Melanie:Yes we can hear Mike

niallgavinuk:and Don

Mandy Randall-Gavin:Mike's very loud but at least we can hear him

Tony (UCA):Can hear Mike fine!

Frank Calberg:@Bob and Carolyn: What do you understand about the word "engagement"?

Nick Emmett:If you do publish your results internally, do you socialise them at all?

niallgavinuk:It's all going swimmingly

Tamanya:We heard!

Tony C:we heard everything

Emma:I have done exactly the same thing before! Its easily done :-)

Jane Mackenzie:Intesting to learn that for future if in Adobe.

Michelle Humphrey:We use Saba Collaboration via Saba Cloud to share information throughout the business

Tony C:Giving the pins out to all = fail

Bob:whether the user has commented/how many times they've viewed it. helps us to understand how useful it is to them

Mandy Randall-Gavin:thank you for the explanation Don - only a practised webinar presenter on Adobe would know that

Nick Emmett:And do you get good engagement on Saba @Michelle?

Nick Jones:happy to bear with you Don. These calls always normally run perfectly and are worth the wait

niallgavinuk:Memo to me: Find out more about adobe for future ref.

Mandy Randall-Gavin:Results put in reports to senior managers

Catherine Dartnall:Hi Mike

Catherine Dartnall:And breathe...:)

Tess Robinson (LAS @mygoalgetter):Yay! Well done Don and Mike

Tamanya:tut tut Don :-)

Frank Calberg:Sound great.

Mehnaz::)

Jane Mackenzie:and animals :-)

Chris Davies:QUIZES, NEARPOD, MOBILE LEARNING PLATFORM, COMMUNITY GROUP

Tony C:difficulty to get client buy in

Paul B:Using = not so much

Nick Emmett:By mobile platform - do we mean as in an app, or perhaps just a responsive site?

Alan:limited, working to implement but there is a fear factor from the business....own device, social etc

Amanda Smith:We have been using Fuse for about a year

richard harknett:not using

Mandy Randall-Gavin:Well I've had lots of experience using Lync which is great

Helen Rushby:very little

esben:yammer mobile

Annemiek Osinga:no mobile learning currently used in my organization. Looking into it for sure.

niallgavinuk:Just getting to grips with #Slack for collaboration and sharing across desktop and smartphone

Melanie:Not using... yet

Susan Andrews:we encourage our learners to collaborate on moodel courses which they can sue from mobile

Mehnaz:University App, Virtual Learning Environment App

LouiseT:not much experience

Becky:We have found that mobile apps contribute to the main collaboration sites - eg by notifying you if you have an update - bu they havent really taken off big time. Some people just still dont know how to use their iPhones!

dylan 2:none yet

Ryan:very little experience- mainly due to limitations with technology and lack of IS investment in comms infrastructure - Lync/Yammer is as good as it gets for us

Gary Whitfield (GP Strategies):I get mobile work and informal learning through my Yammer App

Stu Bailey:We've built our own 'Learning Communities' with our LMS which is getting great up take now!

Mehnaz:Our VLE is Moodle

Emma:security issues - linking to the LMS....

Jane Mackenzie:We use Skype for Business, but starting to use Visimeet.

Amanda Smith:We use it for social learning - sharing knowledge between staff

laura hall:gamification for clients once engaged to keep them coming back for more and allow us to enusre learning taught has been embedded

Mehnaz:Yammer

Hanna:Yes, very relevant and using increasingly. Quizzes, html5, videos...

Martine Bolton:Probably need a definiton of what we mean by mobile in this context...

Keith Myers:no social on mobile but gamification, interactive activities, users-creatred videos with ratings/feedback

Pablo Rico:Never managed to have everything in one solution and single user interface/app, ie. learning, colaboration and communication

Catherine Dartnall:Been using BaseCamp 3 for project collaboration

David Garrick:Early stages of use of Yammer

Roberto Figus:my previous organisation was looking to use Cornerstone mobile, but had still issues with available functionality

Chris Furnell:From a central L&D function we don't utilise the potential; funny that all of our operators (some 20,000) use the simple channel of WhatsAPP but this is mainly for communication rather than colloration & learning

Amanda Smith:We also use fuse for our induction training

Adam Wooldridge:Very little, some quizzes and videos

laura hall:we also use it for daily coaching sessions with managers to do coach the coach and 1-2-1 remotely

Frank Calberg:I find, for example, WhatsApp and Skype useful to quickly exchange information.

Mandy Randall-Gavin:Lync has been great for sharing documents, links etc

Nick Emmett:Interesting to see plenty of people using Yammer internally here, I'd be interested to know the kinds of industries everyone works within.

Nick Jones:i work for a large corporate bank, not much mobile use at the moment but definitely on the horizon. they don't talk to our systems yet

Michelle Humphrey:All mandatory learning is pushed through Saba Cloud via Saba Moobile app

Alan:Using Yammer in retail Nick

Tony C:Lync is used across our business

Mehnaz:@ Nick - I work for Birmingham City University

Pablo Rico:Mike, do you manage to integrate the three dimensions (learning, communication and collaboration) in one single user experiencie?

Nick Emmett:@TonyC - what sort of clients do you work with , and why do you think buy-in is difficult to obtain? I think Mike is talking internally rather than externally, but often the challenges can be overcome in the same ways

Tony C:Public sector in th emain, YOD is a big no no, and provisoin of suitable equipment a financial barrier

Tony C:BYOD

LSGW Backup:TonyC - what's YOD?

LSGW Backup:ok

LSGW Backup:ok

Brenda:bring your own device?

LSGW Backup:Fair point, Tony, which I'll raise at the end.

Tony C:sorry yes

niallgavinuk:Can certainly relate to those challenges

Mehnaz:Alot pf BYOD here at the University noth staff and students

Mehnaz:both

Nick Emmett:Value/Benefit versus price/tech is an important conversation to have

Frank Calberg:Question: To what extent do you help customers, for example elderly people, use devices they have?

Tony C:IT restrictions allowing users own devices onto networks

Mehnaz:@TonyC - what sort of restrcitions?

niallgavinuk:Apple Store colleague model seems to address some of those issues

Tony C:Be interested to know what elements of SAP you use?

Tony C:Reluctance of IT depts to open access, without VPN on company endorsed equipment

Frank Calberg:Question about organization: How many hiearchical levels does Vodafone have? Forgive me if the question is perceived as being a bit too far off topic ;-)

Stu Bailey:@ Frank Calberg I think Barclays are doing a fantastic job of helping customers with their 'Digital Eagles'

Shaun:which app is it?

David Garrick:Fuse

Frank Calberg:Thanks, Stu. Please elaborate using a concrete example.

Shaun:thanks

Tess Robinson (LAS @mygoalgetter):How do you personalise it? By role? By the learner choosing their own topics?

Susan Andrews:Whats the FAP feed?

Emma:Frank, you can book an appointet in a BArclays branch to see a Digital Eagel - thats concrete!

Stu Bailey:@Frank, they help any customer, regardless of what the customers experience is with tech and devices...

Mehnaz:@ TonyC - That interesting, everyone can log into the University Wireless network with their staff or student ID and password, there is also a Guest access too

Catherine Dartnall:Interface looks appealing

sinead:is this connected to LMS??

Brenda:do you still have a legacy LMS?

Frank Calberg:@Stu, thanks. I quite like the name "digital eagles."

Chris Bowie:got user ratings

Chris Bowie:thumbs up ratings

Nick Emmett:@Susan, I suspect it's SAP - an ERP platform provider

niallgavinuk:Turning off emails gets my vote. Seems to be on of #Slack's attractive features as well

Stu Bailey:We're thinking of implementing the same thing for our customers too

Alan:@frank

Mehnaz:@Frank - Me too!

Frank Calberg:@Stu, what company do you work for?

Stu Bailey:We're called Bromford.

Stu Bailey:I used to look after Social learning for Virgin Media too

Tony C:@Mehnaz thats the difference between an audience who are not provided with IT equipment and an environment where it is mandatory

sinead:thanks i iworked in VF ireland and was involved in saba roll out

Nick Jones:@stu and frank, there's also the Barclays digital driving licence site and app, which uses a bit of gamification and something we're working on

sinead:interesting mobile not enabled for saba thanks

Gary Whitfield (GP Strategies):@Stu Sounds like a town mash-up... nice name

Catherine Dartnall:If majority of workforce are millenials I can see why the app would appeal more than email - familiar type of communication mirroring work and personal use

Michelle Humphrey:Saba does have a mobile app

Mehnaz:@TonyC - Very true!

Susan Andrews:I know SAP but I thought he said FAP

Stu Bailey:@Nick Nice!!! I didn't kow that... Thanks :D

sinead:its probably default saba app and not customised api that VF would implemented

Keith Myers:i think LMS is a must, xAPI to track more social learning - loads of learning not getting tracked

Stu Bailey:@ Gary Whitfield... I know what you mean lol

LSGW Backup:Nick - interesting stuff! Please can you contact me via LinkedIn (DonaldHTaylor), I'd realy like to know more

Emma:Also look out for Barclays wiorking with the BBC on the new BBC Microbit'

sinead:true Keith, think importanti integrate social learning with formal etc

Frank Calberg:@Nick, thanks for the additional information.

Charlie Kneen:What is the balance of "performance support", compliance and push communications?
