The socialisation of organisational learning through learning technology

Adopting an industry specific focus, namely the field of information systems organisations, this paper discusses how organisational learning and the social aspect of learning technology may provide organisations with the flexible pedagogic approach required towards generating, managing and disseminating tacit knowledge that accommodates the continual learning of an organisation and its members. The paper analyses the industry of Information Systems Development (ISD) and the benefits that learning technology can provide IS organisations that wish to learn from past projects. Generic guidelines are also suggested to organisations addressing the issue of how to integrate learning technology within an organisational learning environment.
