Presented by: Training Magazine
Duration: 1 Hour 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU

Thought leaders (from John Dewey to Jay Cross to Seymour Papert to Jane Hart to Roger Schank) advocate for more informal learning. If you are inclined towards informality, are you certain about what it is and what it means for your enterprise? What about the far less popular and overwhelmingly more prevalent, formal learning? What are these forms really and in what circumstances are they most appropriate?

“Here I nail the jellied concepts of formal and informal learning to the wall through examples and an online tool—and I press participants to become more mindful about decisions about freedom, choice, technology, synchronicity and asynchronicity, push and pull. Use the free online YinYang tool to reflect on the possibilities for formal and informal learning for your organization and your projects.”

Speakers: Allison Rossett (LinkedIn profile) long time Professor of Educational Technology at San Diego State University, is in the Training magazine HRD Hall of Fame, was a member of the ASTD International Board of Directors, and was honored with selection as an ISPI Member-for-Life and more recently with the Thomas Gilbert Award. Allison co-authored Job Aids and Performance Support: Moving From Knowledge in the Classroom to Knowledge Everywhere (Essential Knowledge Resource) and a new edition of her best selling book, First Things Fast: A Handbook for Performance Analysis (Essential Knowledge Resource).
