Informal Learning at the Workplace – a Dilemma
• eLearning for Workplace Learning follows traditional training models – Based on direct instruction, courses and transfer of face-
to-face interaction to onscreen interaction [Kraiger 2008] – Scales through reliance on standardized materials
• However, most learning (esp. in SMEs) is informal – Connected to work practices, multi-episodic, just-in time
[Hart 2011, Kooken 2009] – Passing on of skills between experienced workers [Attwell
& Baumgartl 2011] – Does not scale well beyond immediate context

Informal Learning at the Workplace – a Dilemma
• There is now technology that potentially supports informal learning at the workplace – Contextualized and work-integrated learning systems
concentrate on large enterprises and computer-based workplaces [Lindstaedt et al. 2010]
– Social Software is in use in SMEs [Adelsberger et al., 2009; Stieglitz & Dang-Xuan, 2011; Stocker et al., 2008], but not systematically taken up as

How do you scale informal learning?
• Scaling Pedagogy • Scaling Learning Interactions
– Interactions with people, digital and physical artefacts
• Scaling Meaning Making • Scaling Technology • Scaling Take-up and Business
– Scaling in Regional Clusters
21 March 2012 6 Learning Layers – Scaling Technologies for Informal Learning
Scaling Pedagogy
• Looking at Learning in Work Practices – [Eraut and Hirsch 2007, Maier 2009, Attwell 2003, Kooken
et al. 2009, Collin, 2006)]
• Unlock Peer Production – [Schmidt et al. 2009, Maier & Schmidt 2007]
• Scaffolding for Meaningful Learning – [Ley et al. 2010, Lindstaedt et al. 2010, Siadaty et al. 2010,
Pata, 2006]
• Scale through Regional Clusters – [Deitmer and Attwell 2000]

Scaling Meaning Making

Scaling Technology
• Embedding use of Technology into work practices – Internet of Things paradigm at the workplace (RFID and QR tags,
embedded sensors) • Using technology that is available
– Mobile and personal tools, QR tags – Focus on browser-based user interfaces (HTML5)
• A flexible, configurable, decentralized and federated infrastructure – Cloud computing – Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) [Saint-
Andre 2004] as an open protocol for real-time bi-directional communication and awareness

Learning Layers are flexible, modular and shared views on top of existing digital and physical spaces. They allow for integrating working and learning, for scaffolding digital and physical interactions, for easy reuse and repurposing, and for emerging shared meaning.

sustainable impact ???
increase the likelihood that SMEs adopt • securing economies-of-scale as well as
network effects of SMEs • Integration of learning within work processes • Co-creation and reuse of learning materials
à reduce costs for creating contents reduce barriers to engage and increase the likelihood that people accept the system • Use of everyday technologies (mobile
technologies and App Store) • Providing support for work processes • Provide qualification whilst working à reduce technology costs
reduce effort to assimilate Learning Layers in work organisations • Increase quality and productivity in SMEs • easy integration into organizational IT • Improve communication and collaboration in
and between SMEs
à reduce training costs (work-based learning)
