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. design informal learning opportunities to meet the development needs of workers. So what does this mean for workplace learning?

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?

Throughout the conference I did the same thing, tweeting snippets of each keynote and workshop I attended and providing links to articles and information mentioned by speakers. I learn every time new information and ideas enter my head. Quickly I found that there were others using the same tag but guess how many? And do you know what?

To me the word instructional brings forth notions of teacher led instruction in formal education settings.

Over the last 4-5 years I have seen and heard so much about new technologies, elearning, informal learning and so forth. The informal/social technologies appear to live outside established systems and therefore scare them. Informal learning means losing control. What do I see today? Why change what 'seems' to work?!

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. Switch - Chip and Dan Heath.

In an earlier post on Informal Learning I made the observation that social networks allow people to create their own villages of learning. BUT, as formal learning became the dominant mode, informal learning became to be seen as something less, not as good, unable to be tested by examination in the same way as formal learning.

I've written on books I've read, webinars, design thinking, presentation skills, twitter, informal learning, personal learning spaces and more. From this came my interest in Informal Learning. But with one year down my mind has turned to the question I'd imagine many bloggers ask themselves "Why do I write a blog?".

But, for informal learning methods, such as corporate wikis, social networks, employee directed learning and so forth, the link between learning and results is harder to see. In the case of formal learning events it is possible to still see the connection between learning and results. Avoid learning droughts!

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 informal. We can't just expect others to see the potential that we see for new technologies to provide new and exciting platforms for enhanced informal learning.

Google has certainly done a great job so far at making knowledge universally accessible, however, to me at least, there is still work to be done on making the world's information useful (the education part). Organisation of information comes before use, ie before education and learning.

Each Thursday everning (US time)/Friday morning (Australian time) an informal group of learning twitterers participate in a discussion on twitter under the hashtag #lrnchat.

I see greater and greater emphasis on informal sources of learning, moving forward to the point that 'if the knowledge IS so important it WILL find the learner!' Businesses, colleges and universities have added elearning onto their traditional learning approaches - it is seen as an 'extra' source of learning. Let's stop and think.

In my previous post I asked the question, 'Is Autonomous Learning the same as Informal Learning?' Over the last week I've kept being drawn back to questions about, and relationships between, informal/formal/autonomous learning. People do learn from information contained in newsletters but the learning is quite informal.

Too often there is too much clutter on slides overloading the brains ability to focus on what is important, indeed once overloaded it is likely that no information will be retained, so less is actually more.
