Informal learning can pack quite a punch in terms of boosting
workplace performance and efficiency. But what is it, and what can
you do to promote informal learning in the workplace? According Bob
Hoffman, informal learning is anything that is not recognizable as
formal training and performance support, such as organized classes,
workshops, individualized instruction, and job aids. In addition,
it is just-in-time, contextual, individualized, personal, chunked,
and limited in scope; in other words, its exactly what you need at
exactly the moment you need it. Informal Learning describes 13
modes of informal learning, including information gathering, help
desk use, and mixed teams. Furthermore, this Infoline
presents ways that you can evaluate and promote these modes to fit
your organizational context. [PDF download version]
