Learning is that which enables you to participate
successfully in life, at work, and in the groups
that matter to you. ~ Jay Cross
11
Informal learning
is the unofficial,
unscheduled,
impromptu way
people learn to
do their jobs.
~ Jay Cross
Formal Learning
Conference organizers decide where
bus going, attendees along for ride.
(Good for newbies, bad for veterans)
12
Informal Learning
Riders choose destination,
speed, route & decide if
they want to take detours
or help others.
(Best for veterans &
experienced professionals)
