Trends and Tools summary
1. Anne Frank HouseThe Challenge: Train 20 staff on the education team on how to integrate social media in around 20 hours. Limited budget and varying levels of abilities & interest. Also integrate education & museum teams.
The Solutions: 1. Create a policy & procedure and social media strategy document so organisation on same page. 2. Mixture of delivery methods: presentation, workshops, Google+ hangout and e-learning. 3. Online self-built social media school using WooThemes Sensei and a WordPress website

Collaborate nationally e.g. social media in education seminar 3. Collaborate worldwide e.g. COIL Conference New York (Collaborative Online International learning)
The Solutions: 1. Create an intake form for volunteers to identify interests and learning goals 2. Record screencasts for regular tasks 3. Manage questions via a Facebook group 4. Hold monthly face to face meetings
Social media managers already educate, inform and entertain, but e-learning can take this a step further.
It offers STRUCTURE and more tangible KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS.
How can we take advantage?
1. Identify goals and create a learning plan (SMART Goals)
2. Successful E-learning is all about STRUCTURE and achieving goals
3. Combine with a business, marketing or social media strategy
3 Key learnings so far…
1. Develop your own skills and stay on top of the game: sign up for a course
2. Capture more of the valuable knowledge within your organisation: create a strategy
3. Train staff and volunteers efficiently and effectively: create a course
4. Add value to customers: offer a course
