Short Description

Although most workplace learning occurs informally, the focus of our field remains on more formal instruction. By encouraging informal learning, leaders can maximize a naturally occurring type of learning to support performance. This presentation addresses a study examining the perception and use of informal learning among instructional design and technology graduate students, the future workforce of instructional designers and performance improvement consultants.
