  SumTotal is thrilled to announce the latest release of SumTotal Social Learning - a rich, interactive platform that enables organizations to capture, share and strengthen the critical informal learning processes that complement and augment the traditional learning management systems.

  From flexible learning communities to content libraries, discussion forums, blogs and content rating tools, SumTotal delivers a complete collaborative environment for all users across an organization. SumTotal Social Learning also provides users with a familiar, easy-to-use experience with all social tools embedded within their existing learning environment.

  The trend towards more social learning is driven in part by the ever changing needs and demographics of the global workforce. And because about 80 percent of employee learning comes from informal, social learning mechanisms, organizations benefit greatly from the ability to capture and integrate this learning with their traditional learning and development systems.
