Knowledge, Learning, And Work Unite!

Formal And Informal Learning Help Workers Do Their Jobs

This is the 10th document in the "Information Workplace" series.

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

A new generation of learning is here. Today, employees are working in a very fast-paced environment. They need learning that is immediate, relevant, and in the context of their work. The course approach — made up of multiple, sequential half-hour lessons — won't do the job alone. To get their jobs done, new computer-savvy workers expect the following essential components: short learning segments available on a variety of devices; more opportunities to collaborate with peers and get answers from experts; and high-quality data search engines.
