But what really caught my eye was the statement: For information-seekers using their favorite search engine, quality is simple to define.

A funny thing happened while we were learning informally. In fact, the buzz about informal learning seems to grow every day. Social learning technologies, which often facilitate informal learning, seem to have paved the way for greater interest in this approach. Coach: What is your definition of informal learning?

Looking at Capital City Bank from the outside, I wouldn’t have expected to find a great example of social learning inside.

Knowledge Work - the ability to search for, synthesize, and disseminate information as part of work processes that captures personal value, builds network, and collects appropriate feedback Would it be fair to say that we have a responsibility to build these skills in ourselves? Isn't this what eLearning 2.0 is all about?

I believe that project based learning is ideally suited for adults in corporate training but sadly there is not much information available. Part of the reason why there is not much information available may be that many instructional designers are creating project based lessons but they haven't put any label on it.

Since everyone still has the same amount of time to spend consuming all of these products or information, they are naturally going to spread their time over broader and broader range.
