So, whilst I may be a little late, I keep being reminded that there are many, many people who are a whole lot less aware of blogs, social networks, wikis, microblogging and so on than I am. Permission Learning , Fish are the last to recognise water , Breaking the learning drough t , Informal learning - it's not new ).

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. embrace enterprise-based social networks.

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.

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!

Tools covered included, wikis, blogging and microblogs, social bookmarking and networking, rss feeds and Google services. . 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. Learning is participatory.

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.
