While the authors suggest that "a clear distinction between formal and informal learning is difficult to define and unhelpful" they also suggest, while defining it a few pages down, that it is "related to business, rather than personal objectives." They should have heeded their early advice. As it is, this perspective flavours this generally useful report focusing on the training needs of small and medium size enterprises. Some advice that should be heeded: "A key issue in small companies is getting access to useful and relevant information. Often this can be done quite simply through trade journals and other traditional media." Also: "Members of the expert group cautioned against formalising what is essentially an informal process of learning in small companies." Read this report, but be aware that it comes from a particular point of view. PDF. Via e-Learning Centre News.
