Affordances and constraints on informal learning in the workplace

Within the workplace there is the potential for continuous learning to occur not only through formal learning initiatives that are associated with training, but also through informal learning opportunities that are embedded in everyday work activities. As part of those activities, social interactions are considered as creating a context in which informal learning is afforded or constrained. This book highlights how the nature of some relationships between co-workers afford opportunities for informal learning, while other relationships constrain such opportunities.
