Informal learning became an area of growing importance in instructional design, particularly in the workplace.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|url=http://cyrilandersontraining.com/2014/05/05/instructional-design-and-technical-writing/|title=Instructional Design and Technical Writing|date=2014-05-05|work=Cyril Anderson's Learning and Performance Support Blog|access-date=2018-11-29|language=en-US|archive-date=2019-06-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190605055124/http://cyrilandersontraining.com/2014/05/05/instructional-design-and-technical-writing/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite news|url=https://702010institute.com/informal-learning-important-formal-learning-moving-forward-702010/|title=Informal learning is more important than formal learning – moving forward with 70:20:10 - 70:20:10 Institute|date=2016-10-03|work=70:20:10 Institute|access-date=2018-11-29|language=en-US}}</ref> A 2014 study showed that formal training makes up only 4 percent of the 505 hours per year an average employee spends learning. It also found that the learning output of informal learning is equal to that of formal training.<ref name=":2" /> As a result of this and other research, more emphasis was placed on creating knowledge bases and other supports for self-directed learning.<ref name=":1" />
