Social Learning with Visual Impact on Pinterest
The Pinterest website does for social media what a bulletin board in the break room does for sharing messages in the workplace or a magnet-covered refrigerator does for sharing artwork and shopping lists in a busy family. It is a place where users set up Pinboards where they post visual expressions and ideas for others to enjoy. Pinterest lets users organize these images according to the topics they select, so the images are searchable by topic.
Training professionals are discovering ways to use Pinterest in support of training objectives. They might pin pictures of ideas for projects or outlines for training courses. They might pin instructional videos or photos. They might get employees excited about participating in training programs by pinning photos of past events. Ahead of an event, they might post graphics containing questions or puzzles for the participants to think about and prepare to discuss. They also can conduct searches on Pinterest to gather fresh ideas for their training programs.
Trainers also can encourage learners to pin items to the training program's Pinboard. For example, if the training includes simulations, games, or experiential learning, participants might have creations they can photograph. Or feedback forms might be made visually interesting for participants to post on the Pinboard. If the training involves a group project, participants can post their ideas on a shared Pinboard.
Consider, for example, how Pinterest could support training of newly hired employees. A company's Pinboard could show photos of employees at work on a typical day. It could include pictures of facilities such as conference rooms and break rooms, to help employees find their way around. It can include links to information such as background about the company, employee contact information, profiles about key employees, and company blogs. Employees can visit Pinterest as an enjoyable and engaging way to get to know their new employer.
