In my Social Learning Handbook I identified 5 categories of learning : Formal Structured Learning , Personal Directed Learning , Group Directed Learning , Intra-Organisational Learning and Accidental & Serendiptous Learning .

We may learn on our own but usually not by ourselves. People learn socially. One is internally focused, as in “How do I learn this?” and the other is external, as in “Who can help me learn this?”.
We constantly go through a process of looking at bits of information Note: This is a revised HTML version of previous PDF’s posted on the site , which should make it easier for sharing.

Personal knowledge management is one way of addressing the issue of TMI (too much information).
