Now I see why e-learning is so important!! The feel to be able to utilize informal learning and apply it back to the task at hand is more resourceful than going thru formal learning. In class, we had to conduct a workshop for a hour at a nursing home about the variety of scams on the internet. Realizing that my group did not want to follow to the typical protocol of meeting in person and plan out a list of things needed to be done for this workshop; they wanted to meet just for the workshop itself!! WOW!! I having to put some trust into four strangers that I have never met before nor can put a face to their name. Only able to communicate via email thru chat rooms were stressing enough knowing that it was hard to meet at one time due to everyone schedules. The workshop worked out to be executed with perfection and I was surprised by that knowing what we all had to go through to gather our brains and resources.

Reading some of the articles in this modules has given me a better insight on what it takes to keep and industry up on its "toes" to stand on the same page with technology. There was an expression stating that technology grows and updates itself constantly on a day to day basis. This preventing industrial employees to step away from their daily routines to receive the learning that is needed to stay ahead.

With this challenge being presented at hand, it is even harder for trainers to create a workshop of some sort to assess the issues that rises from the world of technology. I can only imagine being a trainer that has to give a workshop or session on a new and upcoming software that executives want to merge into the employees daily routine. Just knowing that I would have to train 100 employees all of which has there very own learning styles and that I have to try and accomodate everyone needs to succeed thru my challenge. WOW!!! Its one thing to be able to have methods consisted with informal learning, but it's still a challenge to presenting this methods to people.
