INFORMAL LEARNING STRATEGY - WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU –
Eventinformationen
Zu diesem Event
In a forever-changing world, the ability to learn new knowledge and new skills is more important than ever. Unfortunately, our current education system is aimed at getting students to follow instructions and get certificates rather than producing autonomous learners.
New recruits usually receive some sort of prescribed semi-formal training (here’s this & do that) but once left on their own, few are aware of how to develop a personal learning strategy to craft their skills for their current jobs or to prepare themselves for the next.
In this talk, Ian Gibbs, gives a brief outline of informal learning strategies to help you strengthen your skillset and give added value.
Key takeaways:
- Awareness of informal learning techniques
- How to develop a personal learning strategy
- How to become more intelligent in 24 hours
