Social Learning works best when people feel like theyre part of a real group-not a bunch of silent tiles. Magic Maps is the easiest warm-up to create that were in this together vibe in the first 60 seconds. How to use it in a Social Learning ILT for training agencies: - Kick-off icebreaker: Where are you joining from today? (classic, always works) - Make it topic-relevant: Name a city where youve seen great learning culture in action. - Go aspirational: If you could visit any organization on earth to see their learning culture, where would it be? - Make it personal-fast: Which city shaped you the most as a trainer/facilitator? Trainer tip: when clusters pop up (say, a bunch from the same region), call it out: Looks like weve got a strong group from Singapore-someone tell us what social learning looks like in your organization. Thats instant discussion without forcing it. Bonus move: reset the map later and ask a second location question tied to the content, like Where does learning actually happen most in your org-HQ, frontline, remote, customer site? Type a location that represents it.

That means were exactly where we need to be. Lets build from here. If its high, say: Great-then Im going to stretch you with advanced tactics.

Training agencies live on outcomes-so its helpful when you can actually show what happened in the room, not just say it went well. StreamAlive Analytics helps you spot exactly when engagement spiked, who participated most, and which interactions worked. How it helps Social Learning programs: - Minute-by-minute engagement: see which activity (poll, tiles, quiz) woke the room up-and which segment lost them. - Interaction reports: revisit what the group said (super useful for improving your facilitation script). - Identify your top contributors (Fantastic Fans): these are your future champions-invite them to be peer facilitators in the next cohort. - Share results with stakeholders: send email reports or recap insights with your internal team on Teams. Trainer tip: after your session, look for the drop-off minute. Thats usually where you talked too long or didnt give them something to do. Fix that one spot, and your next delivery feels like a different program.
