The Dilemma of Informal Learning at the Workplace

How do people learn at the workplace?• Ask colleagues, search for help, try

things out, learn from experience• Learning is informal, connected to work

practices, multi-episodic, just-in time [Hart 2011, Kooken 2009]

How do learning technologies look like? • follow traditional training models • based on direct classroom instruction

and courses transfered to the screen [Kraiger 2008]

highly effective individualized

Mechanisms for Scaling Informal Learning

• Address learning in work practices• Unlock peer production and organisational

learning• Scaffolding for meaningful learning • Build on common scalable infrastructure• Scale through regional clusters

One possible Construction Scenario

Explaining the use of a new construction technique and materials on site

Making video material available on site through QR tagsUse of video recording and

annotation

Further questions on the use of the technique connected to site

Material, questions and best practices collected and

discussed

Collection transformed into instructional material to

enhance traditional training

One possible Healthcare Scenario

Two practice staff visit a NHS training on a new guideline for dementia

Staff collect materials from training and further research for their revalidation

Other staff ask questions

about the guideline

Material and questions evolve into a local implementation

plan for the practice

Other regional practices and the CSU join the effort to learn about implementation problems and practices

How shared meaning emerges in Artefact-Mediated collaboration

• How do people come to agreement on meaning in the world?

• Shared Meaning is a result of social practices and negotiation around concrete things (Wenger, 1998)

• Semantic Stabilization happens over time as people describe things (Wagner et al., 2014)

Scaling Informal Learning: A Multifaceted Challenge

• Designing technology that blends into work practices and supports informal learning is a major challenge

• An ecosystem of tools can be integrated by technologies that learn about meaning from interactions in social practices

• Scaling the technology rests on a componentized architecture based on APIs that is adaptable and controllable for SMEs

• EU projects can successfully follow an Open Source Development Strategy
