SunGard Social Learning Institute

What is the SunGard Social Learning Institute?

Social Learning is a blended learning model that combines social networking with e-learning in an environment that is designed to transform traditional professional development. To accomplish this, SunGard K-12 Education is working with Eduplanet to create the SunGard Social Learning Institute that includes web-based, multi-modal learning opportunities that build new knowledge to enhance related practices. Learning is accelerated through a rich exchange with educators from around the world at a fraction of traditional professional development costs.

  • Reducing costs by combining social networking and e-learning 
  • Shortening time to mastery and increased retention
  • Providing access to high quality content delivered by industry experts
  • Engaging end-users in a social learning environment for shared practices
  • Providing opportunities to collaborate with peers on a school, district or global scale to share, learn, and grow without traditional boundaries
  • Allowing users to build a sustained relationship with industry thought leaders and professional development experts
