I have a few ideas about assessing non- and informal learning; in fact, about 72,000 words worth of ideas, because I did my MSc. Ed. on the research question, as well as developing an approach to solving the problem of evaluating the effect of NFL on knowledge workers' behaviors, skills and expertise. If you're interested, I'd be happy to forward the working paper to you? Best, <del datetime="2009-07-15T19:36:00+00:00">Brian</del> Michael Thanks Virginia,

The only thing lacking in the discussion piece was the "measurable" outcomes. In my experience many equate formal outcomes with "measurable outcomes". How can organizations measure the "non-formal learning" and "informal learning" and would the measurements be different than formal learning? What role do you perceive social media in the measurement of learning? For example, one problem I hear many speak of is "cheating" that is promoted by social media. How can we move the perception that sharing information is not necessarily "cheating"? How do you measure individual learning when it has been done collaboratively online? Great post.
