Elevating Informal Learning: The Role of Learning Professionals Formal training is only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to supporting learners. 🧩 According to the Five Moments of Learning Need theory, informal, unintentional, and unplanned learning also play a crucial role in helping learners apply what they've learned on the job. 🌟 As learning professionals, we need to shift our focus from delivering only formal training to supporting learners throughout all five moments of learning needs. 🔀 By elevating the role of informal learning, we can better meet the needs of our learners and help them succeed on the job. 🚀 We took Mosher & Gottfredson’s theory much further and built the LCD model - a practice-validated method for going beyond the first moment of need AND creating learner-driven learning culture. 💡 How do you currently incorporate informal learning opportunities into your learning and development programs? 🤔 P.S Ready to make a difference?

What’s an example of how you personally learn? 💡 In high school, Crystal learned physics by reading the text, doing the homework, then teaching her friends. It was a learning style that worked because she could learn at her own pace and time, as well as in a social way. 📚 Digital technology has made learning possible across many more ➞ Ways 🌐 ➞ Times ⏰ ➞ Places 🌍 This got her thinking: “Why do we focus on designing one learning asset at a time in the workplace?” 🤔 The stakes are high. Businesses need talented individuals who come with talent, grow their talent, and USE their talent. 💼 We need people to love to learn. 🤩 LCD model offers a clear path forward. 🌠 We should be focusing on designing multiple learning assets that cater to our unique learners and their individual needs. 💡 What do we get as a result? 📊 ✅ A culture of continuous learning ✅ on-the-job change ✅ benefits for both the employee and the organization. Learn the LCD model so you can leverage the power of online and offline technology to create a diverse and flexible learning experience for all. 💻 Have you experienced the power of diverse and flexible learning assets in your workplace?

Why Isn’t Blanket Training Enough? Consider the Goldilocks Effect 🔍 When it comes to training, there's a fine line between giving learners too little information and overwhelming them with too much. ⚖️ Some Facts: One-and-done training is not suitable for everyone. 🚫 Some learners may know the basics already. 🧠 Others may need more support to apply what they've learned. 🤝 A one-size-fits-all approach may not meet individual learning needs. 🔄 Does most of your learning only address the “New” moment of learning need? In traditional L&D, it’s common to see the majority of our efforts spent on times when our learners need to learn something for the first time. 📚 What this creates is a “goldilocks effect” - for some it’s too little, for others it’s too much, and for a handful of people, it’s just right. 👌 And rarely, for anyone, does it cover what to do in the moment of applying on the job.❓ Does this sound familiar to you? To avoid the Goldilocks effect Learning professionals need to focus on delivering targeted, just-in-time training that meets learners where they are. 🚀 How do you effectively deliver personalized, just-in-time training that meets the unique learning needs of your learners?

Blended learning is yesterday’s most effective learning approach. 📚 Why? 🤔 It’s still one-and-done, one-size-fits-all, and far from the point of application. 📏 It's time to shift towards a multiple learning asset approach with learning clusters. 🔑 What’s the difference between blended learning programs or a random selection of assets ❓ A learning cluster is an intentional collection of individual learning assets: → They can be taken unplanned or unintentionally based on the learner’s choice → They include social and immediate standalone learning assets, as well as formal (like our blended learning approaches) → These assets, as a collective, are the most strategic to meet personal learner needs and business goals. Say goodbye to one-size-fits-all training and hello to personalized, effective learning with learning clusters. 🔍 Grow your capability in the LCD model - check out our DIY, Done-With-You, and Done For You assets today. 💪 What are your thoughts on the limitations of traditional blended learning programs and the potential benefits of a learning cluster approach?
