Workplace-Based Learning

Washington State's working group on digital workplace-based learning

Getting Started

Here's how you can get started in this network.

1. Sign up and create your profile. If you can, upload a photo--we'd love to put a face with the name.

About the birthday question: Unfortunately we can't eliminate this question, as it's hard coded in Ning. However, we will not display this information. You can use a false birthday should that be your preference.

2. Introduce yourself to the rest of the network.

3. Join in the Forum discussions or create one of your own. Want to post an article, link or thought of your own? try making a blog post.

5. Customize your profile page by click on the "My Page" tab at the top.

Top 5 Registry Cleaners

It is a common knowledge that computer errors happen no matter what kind of computer system you have. In the long run, your computer windows registry will be cluttered with unwanted and useless files and trash that came from various programs that you have uninstalled. When windows registry becomes bloated, system errors occur, which can cause your computer to slow down or even crash. See cleaner reviews below.

To get rid of these system… Continue

Collaboratories: How can you compete with the most innovative companies in the world?

In this week's Business Week magazine, its main article entitled Big Blue's Global Lab discusses how companies such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Proctor & Gamble and Eli Lilly are collaborating all over the world with their geographically disbursed offices, universities, governments and even other companies in their R&D efforts. IBM actually calls theirs "collaboratories" - with the potential to set up over 100 worldwide over the coming years. "The world is our lab now," states John E. Kelly… Continue

Privacy and Visibility in this Social Network

Viewing the Network
On Ning, there are a number of privacy settings we (the administrators) and you (members) can choose. Because this is a public initiative initiated by the Washington State Legislature, the network is viewable to the world at large. This means that anyone who visits this site can see all Forum discussions, members, member profile pages, videos, etc. This also means that anything you write on another members' wall is visible.

However, to ADD to any discussion, video, etc., you must sign up as a member to this site. So while a non-member can visit various pages, he/she cannot add to the discussion unless he/she signs up for membership.

Membership
Membership is open to anyone who chooses to join. Members of the Executive Advisory Team are strongly encouraged to join and participate, as this is the primary forum in which we will exchange ideas between December 2008 and mid-spring 2009.

Communicating with Members
To communicate with individual members, you can "write on their wall," which is a communication that is visible to anyone visiting that member's page.

If you'd like to send a person-to-person private communication, you can do so by visiting the member's profile page and clicking on "send a message." This is like sending an email to the person through the network. Only you and the person you send the message to can see it. Not even the network creators will be able to view it.

Blogs Posts and "Friending"
In general, being "friends" with someone on Ning only matters for posting blog entries. If you decide to post to your Ning blog (available through your profile page), then you can select one of three options:

**Everyone--this means anyone can see your post.

**Just my friends--this means that only people that you have accepted as your friend can see the post. If someone invites you to be friends and you do not accept it, then they cannot see the post. You must have accepted them as a friend first.

**Only me--Pretty obvious--this is how you can write blog posts to yourself, very similar to keeping a private journal. When you select this option, not even the network creators can see what you've written.
