• In Event: OTP - Quality Informal and Corporate e-Learning

Short Description

Although most workplace learning occurs informally, instructional design and performance improvement (ID/PI) professionals often focus their attention on more formal interventions such as training. This presentation will report on a research study that examined the perception and use of informal learning strategies among ID/PI practitioners. Results of this study may have implications for both researchers of informal workplace learning and managers of ID/PI teams in organizations.
