Abstract:	The advent of digital technology has enabled the development of alternative learning methods that enable personalized education to meet the demands of the modern era. Regardless of geographical location and time, online education facilitates the provision of personalized learning opportunities through asynchronous or synchronous recording. Thanks to Covid-19, the rapid adaptation of formal education to digital environments promoted individualization and self-directed learning. The increasing use of design software in architectural education due to digitalization promotes integrating synchronous or asynchronous extracurricular training into the individual learning process. By exploring the diversity of informal online education programs in design software, this study aims to identify the contributions and limitations of informal learning in personalization. Examining the context of a five-day online workshop and a 21-day course can provide new perspectives through a multidisciplinary environment of discussion and practice, even in a short period of time. These programs provide education and training for skilled designers who have their own unique perspectives and techniques on design. Participants' economic situation regarding course fees introduces a competitive medium, which restricts learning accessibility in any scenarioMoreover, excluding these educational programs from transcripts due to imprecise evaluation conditions results in unfairness. With equal access and fair and accurate evaluation mechanisms, informal online education can help professionals develop unique, global, and harmonious perspectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
