Workshop outline:

The workshop is a mix of synchronous conversations (e.g., on Zoom) and asynchronous (e.g., in a discussion forum). We work as a whole group, in small groups, and on our own.

The workshop runs over two weeks. We hold four 90-minutes synchronous discussions from Tuesday to Friday each week with the whole group. The time for these sessions is:

– 8:00-9:30am PST (West Coast, US)
– 11:00-12:30am EST (East Coast, US)
– 16:00-17:30pm WET (UK/Portugal)
– 17:00-18:30pm CET (Europe)

Between an introductory session at the start and a reflection sesssion at the end, each session covers one of the six sections of the book:

Introduction:

• Who is here?
• What is the story behind this book?

Foundation:

• The concept of social learning space: definition and significance
• The perspective of value creation and agency:
• Four social learning modes

The value-creation framework in the four learning modes:

• Generating value: eight value-creation cycles
• Translating value: flows, loops, and value-creation stories
•  Framing value creation: aspirations and uncertainties
• Evaluating social learning: accounting for effects and contribution

Reflection:

• What is the significance of this book? What can we do with it?
• Next steps.
