  There's a growing recognition that valuable learning often takes place through informal learning. Informal learning is based in conversations, social interactions, and team projects, in which learning is part of the interactions between people.

  • A new challenge for e-learning is to create collaborative learning spaces in which informal learning can thrive.

  • Stephanie Pace Marshall notes in her "Principles for the New Story of Learning."  

     
    • Learning is an incremental process of acquiring information.  
    • Learning should be credentialed by the amount of time spent acquiring information.  
    • The purpose of formal learning is to acquire information rapidly, cover content, and reproduce facts.  
    • Content segmentation is the more efficient and effective way to learn a discipline.  
    • Only that which can be quantitatively and easily measured is true knowledge.  
    • Competition and external rewards are the most powerful motivators for learning.
  • As organizations rapidly move their training focus to virtual environments, a proliferation of methods to support formal learning has appeared: teleconferencing, videoconferencing, e-meetings, and online courses
  • On a parallel track, however, there's a growing recognition that valuable learning often takes place through informal learning. Informal learning is based in conversations, social interactions, and team projects, in which learning is part of the interactions between people.
  • Informal learning isn't limited to a predefined body of knowledge, but rather emerges from the interaction of people. At the heart of it is the transfer of tacit knowledge--knowledge that's not articulated but is acquired by individuals through experience.
  • Informal learning
    is based in conversations, social interactions, and team projects, in which learning is part and parcel of the interactions between people.
  • Through forming relationships, knowledge is diffused. He alludes to the image of the village square, where people hang out in a social space. That social space is the setting in which social relations are reinforced, trust is developed, and informal learning takes place. In sum, informal learning is that which allows the tacit knowledge resident in a group to emerge and be exchanged, sometimes by serendipity, sometimes in the course of accomplishing a specific project, through the construction of spaces that support learning.
  • Temporary learning systems: groups of people brought together for a short period of time to learn about a specific topic
  • Communities of practice: groups of people that share "ways of working" or professional or personal interests and who meet together to exchange knowledge and share resources
