Skills Can Industry articulate its training needs? Industry is difficult to define unless you consider market segments. Social networking stuff is not valued by Industry. AIG can influence members on how to conduct training. Employers need to provide support systems to improve skill levels in the workplace.

Discerning, synthesising and producing are key skills that students need to learn and teachers need to frame. Sometimes the theory base is lacking from practice. Network theory and collaboration......need to have some form of theory and practice.

Models of professional learning Use of social networks for knowledge connections and knowledge acquisition needs to be seen as productive work. Learn to learn.... Social networking activities are seen as time wasting and not as knowledge acquisition and informal learning exercises that contributes to the corporate knowledge of organisations. Social networks allow participants to build reputation, get recognition, and potential be linked to reward.....there are beginning systems that are able to link these social networks to promotion and consequently incentivise people to contribute.

Self directed How do you incentivise staff to improve. Social networks can enable people to build reputation, recognition and reward. Teachers should naturally be learners ...but incentives can someties be that the better you are...the more work you get.  Flexible learning offers pathways for learners to get the appropriate accreditation in more chunk size.

Other Workplace learning and delivery is not remunerated in a way which is flexible and represents the true effort.
