Jay, I just "attended" the ViZThink conference in SF without enrolling either in the face to face conference or the online live webinar and it blew my mind. I attended by following the Tweetstream that Cliff Atkinson set up and others participated i…
Hi Bob,
It was very nice to hear about your experience, it seems cutting edge experience.
I can see some resemblance between your work and Dewey, about the relationship/balance between formal and informal learning. Engestrom also talks about ‘expan…
Nice to meet you Deirdre,
To answer your question...I would say ..it's a journey...and to be able to take the journey together we need to be able to have the capacity to learn...and learn takes 'time' it is also 'personal' but it need to be 'collect…
On reconsidering your original question Bronya, I live everyday in a world of informal learning. I access blogs, wikis, tweets, UTube, Flicker everyday from all over the world. Since 1990, when I got my first Internet access I have used it for impro…
Dean, form my perspective, informal and formal learning are ranges along a continuum, not a dichotomy. All learning is part formal and part informal; the proportions vary, but they are not different things.
Mark the other terms that are missing from this discussion are active vs passive involvement. We know that participants have to be actively engaged physically or mentally for learning to occur; we can be entertained through passive listening and for…
Push to pull, maybe even to follow. I was looking at one of my PowerPoint presentations the other day and realized there were minimal facts (mainly lists of resources) but lots of questions that lead to great discussions about how people in differen…
Hi Mark,
It seems that there is a need to rethink ‘conference’ in the 21st century, but also make explicit about the kind of conference …academic, sport, business…But, to be able to think a conference as an ‘informal learning environment’ may need a…
Following on from Jay's point regarding the move from "push" to "pull" learning, it was suggested at the Learning Technologies Conference in London recently that, in this context, we may need to refocus and redefine the learning & development functi…
Hi Mark,
Good point about the use of the term instruction here, rather than learning. There's one thing I've finally figured out about eduction: only a fraction of the efforts of educators is on learning. A big fraction, but probably not even 50% f…
First - hi all!
Second (jumping right in here) I don't really want to start splitting hairs but IMHO we've really done a disservice to this debate by using phrases like e-learning, formal learning and informal learning. What we've REALLY been talkin…
Hi Dean,
Thank you for your question. I can answer from the practice point of view. A pedagogy of informal learning environments refers to a different practice. The pedagogic discourse of a teacher refers to the school’s system; about curriculum, te…
Hi Bronya,
I would ask the question: Is the traditional dichotomy of informal vs. formal learning valid?
I feel that informal and formal describe contexts more than types of learning. I feel strongly that people learn at all times and in all place…
