Formalizing Informal Learning
Speaker: Lance Dublin
Date: May 12 2010
Time: 2:00-3:00 ET
The buzz about informal learning has turned into a clamor. Organizations know they need to jump onto this bandwagon, but they worry about how. Formal learning is well established and is well understood. Yet, informal learning seems obvious but too ill-defined. Now is the time to move into the third dimension of learning, where formal and informal learning intersects with intention. Some experts have called this ‘formalizing informal learning’ while others term it ‘non-formal’ learning.
