WEILER 2013 - Workshop on solutions that enhance informal learning recognition (WEILER)

The increasing presence of Web 2.0 media and tools in the workplace makes informal learning increasingly important and its recognition there becomes especially relevant since this can enhance employability, producing positive benefits for managers and companies, and give employees opportunities to learn and keep their skills up-to-date, etc. Thus, taking into account the technological and organizational innovation and the affordances of the Internet, it is necessary to define new methodologies and tools to make visible and manage this informal learning. This workshop will gather experiences about informal learning recognition, focusing on, but not limited to: validation of informal learning experiences, institutional management of informal knowledge, making use of representations of informal learning, decision making informed by informal learning experiences and using of learning analytics to document or promote informal learning.
