1 Choose your platforms wisely

Not all social media platforms are suitable for informal learning and knowledge sharing. You need to consider your goals, your audience, your content, and your preferences. For example, if you want to learn from short videos, podcasts, or infographics, you may opt for YouTube, Spotify, or Instagram. If you want to join discussions, debates, or Q&A sessions, you may prefer Twitter, LinkedIn, or Quora. If you want to create or join communities, groups, or networks, you may choose Facebook, Slack, or Discord. You also need to be mindful of the quality, credibility, and relevance of the sources and information you access on social media.

You also need to know which platform your audience already go to and use the most. If your content is on a different platform, it will be harder for them to find and even if they do find it, the need to join another platform, or do something that is not part of your daily habits will make it harder to get their attention.

2 Be an active participant

To make the most of social media for informal learning and knowledge sharing, you need to be an active participant, not just a passive consumer. You need to engage with the content, the creators, and the other learners. You can do this by liking, commenting, sharing, asking questions, giving feedback, or creating your own content. You can also follow, subscribe, or join the channels, pages, or groups that interest you, or create your own. By being an active participant, you can enhance your learning outcomes, build your network, and contribute to the collective knowledge.

3 Balance your time and attention

While social media can offer many opportunities for informal learning and knowledge sharing, it can also pose some challenges. One of them is the risk of distraction, overload, or addiction. You may find yourself spending too much time or attention on social media, at the expense of your other tasks, goals, or responsibilities. You may also feel overwhelmed or confused by the amount or variety of information available on social media. To avoid these pitfalls, you need to balance your time and attention. You can do this by setting clear and realistic goals, prioritizing your activities, limiting your usage, and filtering your sources.

To avoid distraction, I regularly avoid looking at the content suggested by the recommendation algorithms. I always have to start with a search thus approaching the platform with clear purpose and intention.

4 Reflect on your learning

Another challenge of social media for informal learning and knowledge sharing is the lack of formal assessment or feedback. You may not know how much or how well you have learned, or what gaps or areas you need to improve. You may also miss the opportunity to consolidate or apply your learning to your work or personal contexts. To overcome this challenge, you need to reflect on your learning. You can do this by keeping a learning journal, portfolio, or blog, where you document your learning experiences, achievements, and challenges. You can also seek feedback from your peers, mentors, or managers, or participate in online quizzes, tests, or certifications.

5 Evaluate your impact

Finally, you need to evaluate the impact of social media for informal learning and knowledge sharing on your staff development. You need to measure how your learning has influenced your knowledge, skills, attitudes, performance, or career. You also need to assess how your knowledge sharing has benefited your colleagues, organization, or industry. You can do this by using various tools, methods, or indicators, such as self-assessment, peer review, feedback, surveys, analytics, or outcomes. You can also use this information to adjust your learning and sharing strategies, or to identify new opportunities or challenges.
