Informal education usually refers to things you learn unconsciously. For example, infants learn to speak informally. They listen to the adults around them speak, and they pick up words, syntax, and intonation. When they go to school and learn to read and write, that’s more formal. In a work setting, mentorship programs are largely informal. Employees shadow a senior colleague and learn by watching them. It’s largely an offline experience though, so what are the benefits and downsides of digitizing this process? And can you encourage your employees to engage in impromptu training experiences without compromising the objectives? Let’s delve into some of the pros and cons of using informal learning in your compliance online training course.
