Integrating Informal Learning within a Formal Instructional Design Degree Program: A Design-Based Research Approach
Zawawi, Boshra
Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, v29 n2 p151-174 Apr 2020
Informal learning plays a critical role in supporting instructional design (ID) students to develop knowledge and skills they will need as future employees and to establish their professional development trajectory. This survey study is part of a larger design-based study that seeks to design, develop, and evaluate a technology-mediated learning environment (TMLE) to integrate formal and informal learning activities in ID degree programs. The survey explored the usefulness and frequency of engaging in informal learning activities among ID students and alumni. The individual and environmental factors influencing the participants' engagements in informal learning were also investigated. The survey results informed the development of design principles and a prototype to guide the creation of the TMLE.
