Given that the goal of instructional designers and training developers is to improve employee performance, it’s surprising that many continue to create blended learning programs with little or no reliance on performance support tools or systems. Build performance support into every blended learning effort.

Although, modern office spaces do provide open meeting areas which support informal gatherings, remember too that we also learn with others virtually – even when we are sitting on our own – so we also need to provide similar virtual informal (learning) spaces.

One of the best things about being an instructional designer right now is that now more than ever we feel that our field is in the zeitgeist of what's happening in the media and technology worlds. What we do (rather, how we do it) is influenced greatly by technologies that support more flexible means of communication and collaboration.

After my last blog post , a commenter asked a pertinent question: Many organizations/companies have multiple intranets, wiki sites, and so forth, often making it difficult for employees to know where to go when they want an answer or more information. Typically, each business unit is providing a portal of their information for others to use.

Here, we need to share our different ideas, actively reconcile them, and then use that collective approach to solve the problem. How social learning works. Both approaches, just getting feedback and collaborating, are true for both informal and formal learning. A necessary component is a " culture of learning."

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.

If we dispense with online courses in favour of PDFs, how can we incorporate interactivity into the learning experience? Enter the Informal Learning Environment (ILE). Essentially, an ILE is a space (like a website or intranet site) that centralises relevant learning resources in a particular domain. Informalise learning.

The key question we (as L&D/HR) need to think of is how are we going to support workplace learning to build such skills in the workforce? However, complexity and constant emergence, exceptions and novel challenges also mean that individual workers will not be able to solve problems.

The social revolution of the 1960s gave rise to the concept that learning is individual. Robert Mager and others promoted the profession of instructional design. Malcolm Knowles pointed out that adults learn differently than children. Training is not the same as learning. Deep learning is experiential.
