  Wednesday with judy:

  How to evaluate informal learning 

  Oct 12^th, Noon Central, 60 minutes 

  
  

  Judy will share the latest research on the importance of informal learning.  She will define it and explain ways to measure its significance and value to the organization.  Because informal learning is under the radar and outside of typical oversight structures, it is easy to assume it cannot be measured.  Judy dispels this myth and offers practical tips for evaluating the importance and power of informal learning.  So, please join her and share in the exchange.  You will receive a zoom link upon registration.
