Abstract:

Humans adapt to different forms of learning as environments change. Human Resource Development
(HRD) must grow with these changes in order to remain useful. With electronic technology ever-present
in most human life, technological advances have reformulated the application of communication tools.
HRD is poised to give future generations a clearer view of how learning may differ when technology is
applied. This conceptual article offers a newly formed position labeled technology-enhanced social
learning (TESL). This concept suggests that the basics of ‘meaning’ could form differently in a virtual
setting.
