The way we grow IS mostly through informal channels, whether we are 18 or 58. Perhaps the curse of knowledge is that as we grow older we only remember the formal learning of our younger years.

So, we extrapolate on imperfect information. This is where informal learning comes in. Let's try these descriptions of Informal Learning: Learning with no particular outcome in mind. Learning for learning sake. Learning that mightn't look like learning. How extraordinary!"

Autonomous Learning - is it the same as informal learning?

Formal learning and informal learning. I get the idea here, there is learning that is structured and there is learning that happens outside of structured environments. Marcia Conner's explanation of informal learning is a good starting point in understanding the thinking underlying informal learning.

Fish are the last to recognise water = informal learning?

AUGUST 4, 2009

I just twittered a thought - 'The benefit of Informal learning is that fish are the last to recognise water' - and then I started thinking. This is the real essence of informal learning. So what does this mean for workplace learning? design informal learning opportunities to meet the development needs of workers.

It's strange how the mind works, I saw the title and I thought "mmm, that's how to get traction for informal learning in the workplace". From this position, Seth coined the term 'Permission Marketing' to describe a way forward for marketing messages in an world of information overload. So, to informal learning!

AUGUST 16, 2009

In recent times I've seen and heard much discussion around informal and social learning. For example, is informal learning necessarily social in nature? Has the rise of new technologies altered the traditional view of social learning? You may also read a recent post of mine, Informal Learning - it's not new.

Why do we label learning?

MARCH 3, 2010

I was just reading comments from my post on Autonomous/Formal/Informal Learning and thought I'd put some of my thoughts down in a post as they come! My thinking is this - formal/informal/autonomous/individual - they are all labels, descriptive in their own way. OK, this is a post written as I'm thinking. Let's see how it goes?

I've written on books I've read, webinars, design thinking, presentation skills, twitter, informal learning, personal learning spaces and more. Many of my posts in the last year have been around the influence of design thinking on how we design successful learning. From this came my interest in Informal Learning.

'Scared of first' - why business is resisting new learning.

OCTOBER 7, 2009

Over the last 4-5 years I have seen and heard so much about new technologies, elearning, informal learning and so forth. BUT I see businesses introducing 'click, click, click' 'powerpoint-style' elearning and believing that this means that their learning is 'modern'. Informal learning means losing control.

In an earlier post on Informal Learning I made the observation that social networks allow people to create their own villages of learning. Schools, universities and formal learning have been undoubted successes. Workers learn a great deal through formal channels. However this is now being questioned. Web/Tech.

Breaking the learning drought

OCTOBER 11, 2009

My thoughts went a bit like this.just as the dam levels don't immediate respond to rain, employee behaviour or business results don't immediately change after learning either.just as there is a lag between rain and water storage, there is also a lag between learning input and behaviour/results output. Avoid learning droughts!

It is really an expansion of the design section from the original book, adding a good deal of extra information and ideas along the way. The power of story telling in learning is enormous, we all tend to remember information when its woven into a meaningful and engaging story. resonate - Nancy Duarte. Well here's one angle.

Participants were shown in real time the usefulness of much of the technologies (it certainly wasn't a lecture with only one-way information transfer!) Learning can be collaborative. Learning can be personalised. Learning can be informal. Learning is participatory. Learners are empowered.

In my previous post I asked the question, 'Is Autonomous Learning the same as Informal Learning?' I'd been reading Daniel Pink's new book Drive and my mind had turned to thinking about autonomy, learning and motivation. When I think of learning in structured settings I see learning that includes: assessable outcomes.
