U-Blog 3

I read the article on Informal Learning. This article was somewhat interesting. This article explained the difference between informal and formal learning. Both of them are somewhat the same. Though formal learning is more intended for newer employees or members. The informal learning is better for those "seasoned" employees or employees who have been there for a great period of time. Informal learning is better for them because it allows them to learn only what they need at that time. Informal learning for them is somewhat like an upgrade. They are just updating themselves to the newest trends or knowledge.

U-Blog 2

I read an article on company or corporate training. In this article its says that companies tend determine there training goals on a midterm basis. They say that large companies tend to just hire new employees instead of training there current employees on newer concepts. I think this may be effective in some companies but not all. In some instances for it may be better to just train the current employees and maybe just changing there position, if need be.

U-Blog 1

This class has been very interesting. I have always seen online courses or e-learning courses and others taking them but I have never taken one myself until now. This course is very different from others but I like it. I'm a person that tends to kind of teach myself and be more hands on. So with having to use the computer to get the course information and complete assignments, this course is great for me. I can somewhat teach myself or learn in a way that's easier for me.
