Argues that the most difficult task for trainers is to identify the right mix of formal and informal learning needed in any given situation. Provides definitions of formal, informal and nonformal learning and indicates the situations in which they arise. Discusses how to structure informal learning and details how to measure it, including an explanation of how to identify what should be measured. Illustrates this by giving an example of how this approach has been used in practice.ISSN: 1535-7740Article type: ViewpointReference: 41AH051
