interdisciplinary course show that the success of stimulating informal learning by formal
learning offers is a matter of educational design as well as of attitudes towards learners and
their personal development. Dialogue and immediate communication, up-to-date
and relevant content as well as assignments that fit to the needs and motivations of learners are some necessary conditions for the success of interfacing formal and informal learning within initial
curricula and in continuing education.Distance Learning and Professional Education ; International Association for Continuing Engineering Educatio
