What is the form of informal learning? I somewhat got this wrong as the big LMS vendors seem to now refer to themselves in terms of talent management and workforce productivity rather than innovating around the learning itself. However, there's Communities / Social Networking and LMS Merger announcement around Mzinga.

Social Networking is hitting the corporate scene, driving tremendous demand for informal learning, or what we call "learning on-demand." The CoP companies we talk with tell us that their businesses are booming (Tomoye and Mzinga being two which focus heavily in this space).

The need for informal learning continues to grow and likewise the ability to easily access it or contribute to it will improve. Successful LMS’s will be modeled after the way people are sharing and accessing information today. Thanks to Sue, from a fellow upstate New Yorker! Generation21. GeoLearning. Meridian KSI.

LMSs control, track and report on formal learning initiatives while a social media platform enables rather than controls informal learning. A: Jeff Whitney - It just makes sense to offer a social media platform to support the 80% of learning that occurs informally. Each has very different objectives. Thanks Jeff!

Thousands upon thousands of trainers attended conferences to learn about new approaches like programmed instruction, behavior modeling, roleplay, certification, interactive multimedia, sensitivity training. corporate universities, and Learning Organizations. All of this should scare the crap out of you if you are in learning.

To stay relevant, George believes training vendors should do two things: Stop talking “learning” and start talking “capacity” and “execution” like the rest of the C-suite. Augment their systems with components that provide opportunities for people to interact in social systems for informal learning.
