What is 'Formalizing Informal Learning' Anyway?

The buzz about Learning 2.0, informal learning and social learning has turned into a clamor. Organizations know they need to jump onto this bandwagon, but they worry about how. Formal learning is well established and is well understood. Informal learning seems obvious, but too ill-defined for many.

What is 'formalizing informal learning' really? How do you know when it's the right choice? And then how do you actually do it?

This webinar will go into four case studies from the Lance Dublin's CLO Magazine article, 'Formalizing Informal Learning.'
