I have always wondered if there was a difference between formal and informal learning. For years I have been involved with companies and have experience several changes within that company. These changes could consist anywhere from adding a new product to adding an new procedure to a process; however working with several different types of people I have wondered how do a company make such a big decision on approaching training in a timely fashion to where alot of workers would catch on while preventing down time. Reading an article called Informal Reading states that formal and informal are very much similar and that they co-exist. Even though in our past companies has been using formal approaches to learn that it has caused such a big confusion between schooling and learning.
