That's merely informative -- or it's the formal learning we did before blogging took hold. Great post by Tom Haskins says - among other things: If a blog post does not feed back into the blogosphere, that's not blogging. If the value of your blogging is not endlessly recursive, then you can conceive of your value like before.

And this exception relates closely to my earlier concern eLearning Technology: Informal Learning is Too Important to Leave to Chance. So, on to informal learning. If we have set up environments that help people collaborate, and support their informal learning, we should see output improvements.

I've received quite a bit of input on my blog post Informal Learning - Let's Get Real. We want to figure out what the process and mechanisms should look like when we are going after Intentional Informal Learning. Informal Learning, Communities, Bottom-up vs. Top-Down. I feel like many of us are in the same boat.

EMC owns Documentum (a big document management/content management system) and owns eRoom (a team collaboration tool). Marc Rosenberg, the moderator, asked if he was using these tools as part of his solutions.

One of the questions that always comes up is: How do I find more information to help me get started? The answer is that this information is a bit hard to come by. There’s a lot out there, but it’s often hard to find information that helps you get start. Last week I had a presentation around using Social Media and Web 2.0

There's obvious value in bringing the classroom collaboration dynamic to online learning. Because of the ability to attach documents, it can act like a collaboration platform.

There are certainly powerful examples in Twitter Collaboration Stories and Twitter for Learning. I think his explanation of his experience coming onto twitter is pretty realistic, but he's also not new to social media. Still, I would put Twitter as a social tool, a serendipity learning tool, a quick hit, general question tool.
