Pervasive Learning Model
Learning happens everywhere. The Pervasive Learning model delivers insight on how and where development can take place, highlighting three different types of learning: Formal, Informal, and Social.
Formal Learning occurs in traditional classroom settings and through online eLearning techniques.
Informal Learning involves the sharing of expertise, skill, and inspiration.
Social Learning is the exchange of knowledge and information over the internet.
(D. Pontefract, 2013)
Learning is a collaborative, continuous, connected, and community-based growth mindset. These learning techniques happen more and more unintentionally through real-life experiences. By joining a webinar, reading a blog, or attending a conference, people are constantly learning which helps to develop into better employees and better leaders.
Learning and Development Resources
RMU has created several resources for employees to use to help expand their knowledge and develop as an employee or manager.
The spreadsheet create provides multiple different resources on a variety of topics such as performance, emotional intelligence, and Microsoft Office trainings. Each resource is paired with RMU core values and strengths to help employee growth in those categories. There are online articles, videos, and webinars that can be used to enhance Informal Learning.
YouTube videos are a perfect example of Social Learning through an online medium. RMU Human Resources has created a channel, RMU Talent Academy, and several videos, Talent Talk, relating to different performance development topics. More videos will be added moving forward so be sure to subscribe and stay up-to-date with RMU Talent Academy.
