Knowledge, Learning, Community

It was the table (illustrated) that caught my eye, but the overall message of this survey is that the formal 'educational' resources (like classroom training, e-learning and conferences) are the least useful for workplace learning. But more, this survey also breaks down results geographically (showing Canada a bit more conservative than I would have thought), by company size (no difference in rankings), and age. Having said all that, I would say that the self-selected nature of the respondents biases the results significantly (you can take the survey yourself) in favour of online informal fors of learning.
