Social & Informal Learning
The Social & Informal Learning SIG will explore, discuss, and apply the
theories, techniques, and tools organizations can use to leverage the "wisdom of the crowds."
Our goal is simple -- increase the understanding and expand the application
of social and informal learning in an effort to improve performance.
