So one approach that I have been promoting is, instead of thinking of Formal and Informal Leaning as polar opposites, rather to think in terms of a Social Workplace Learning Continuum (as shown diagrammatically in the image on the right). But in order to support the full SWL Continuum, there are 5 points to take on board.

In the first post I explained that “packaging learning” involves organizing and wrapping up everything an individual needs to learn in a neat parcel, delivering it to them on a plate, and making sure they do it, whilst “scaffolding” is about supporting learning in many other less top-down organized ways.

The culture that underpins a managing minds approach must support and encourage an ongoing and collective discovery, sharing, and appli­cation of knowledge and skills at the individual, team, and organization levels.

I spent the greater part of the weekend mulling over the practice of working out loud, what makes some folks adopt the habit with ease while others struggle, and what could be some of the possible enabling factors that support working out loud. A community grows through conversation, collaboration, and showcasing of work in progress.

The emergent nature of MOOCs can have interesting outcomes: They can enable the formation of Communities of Interests (CoIs), which can evolve into Communities of Practices (CoPs) if participants are keen on building the domain knowledge and practices. The MOOC format is primarily learner-driven and learner-directed.

There are other causes of performance problems in organizations besides skill gaps. Don’t equate information with ability. One of the wrong ways to do courses is to get information from SMEs and present it to the learners (whether or not you add a knowledge test). We’re really bad at remembering rote and arbitrary information.
