Replying to LO920 --

I have used a taxonomy for a number of years which differentiates
among three major types of learning programs. This taxonomy is
from the work of HRD professional Len Nadler.

Training - learning related to the present job of the individual.

Education - learning related to a future but defined job for which
the individual is being prepared.

Development - learning for the general growth of the individual and /or
the organization.

The focus of learning determines the appropriate learning activities.
