This document discusses using a social learning portal to support informal learning in the workplace. It proposes building a portal that allows employees to connect, collaborate, and learn through user-generated content like blogs, videos, and online communities. This portal would complement and reinforce formal structured learning programs delivered through a learning management system. It provides examples of content and features for the portal, as well as recommendations around staffing, measurement, and potential benefits of a social learning portal.
