For example, the Management Fundamentals course o ers employees a multi-phased approach for digesting the new curriculum. Content is unveiled over a couple of months as

An online program collaboration space (a Google site) is refreshed for each learning cohort and provides participants a place to post their results to speci c exercises assigned. All exercises are tied to the employee’s actual project work. e online space is also used by attendees to get acquainted before and in between session dates. e costs associated in the support of this “informal learning process model” and informal online collaboration technology are equal to or less than the costs associated with more traditional methods of training delivery. In this case, the social learner is the focus and the design allows for new skills to be exercised on real work, with peer coaching and online support throughout the process.
