80+%

by Jay Cross on June 14, 2010

People learn socially and informally.

Research usually finds that around 80% of workplace learning is informal. This is of course an average; the value depends on the context and the individual learner.

Note that the studies that came up with the 80% were conducted before we had social networks or Google or YouTube or Facebook or ubiquitous email or blogs or smart phones.

What proportion would you think Informal Learning accounts for in today’s connected world?
