National PD available in March - Social media tools for training: Yammer
Monday, March 4 2013
Yammer is a social networking system for companies and their employees. Yammer is designed for collaboration, file sharing, knowledge exchange and team efficiency. It is an ideal tool for managing communication with learners in a blended learning setting. Yammer enables employees and learners alike to collaborate easily, make smarter decisions faster, and become more productive. Yammers’ design has a familiar interface ensuring quick buy in by employees already familiar with social media platforms.
At the end of the workshop, participants will have the knowledge and skills to:
- set up a Yammer account and access using a PC, mobile device or tablet.
- enable your learners to collaborate on tasks, ask questions, share knowledge on Yammer
- manage project communications, and
- monitor and manage your network of learners.
