While authoring tools on the market claim to deploy to multiple devices at the click of a button, I didn’t have the time to trial them, nor the budget to buy one, nor the inclination to learn it, nor the naivety to believe it anyway. Obviously you use it to inform your m-learning strategy! Think informal first.

Such a resource empowers self-directed learning which, in the language of 70:20:10, can be done on the job, just in time. Another false idol to fall is the myth that all the information we need is at our fingertips. Clearly, not all our needs are generic.

I advocated the development of Informal Learning Environments (ILEs). A Formal Learning Environment (FLE) which manages that learning. The ILE will contain self-paced, self-directed, unmeasured learning resources such as readings, video clips, podcasts and discussion forums.

Let me explain by rewinding a little… In my previous post Informal first , I articulated a mindset that prioritises informal learning over formal training. I argued in favour of providing all the necessary learning resources to the target audience in an open, structured format. But the LMS is not the place for it!

I consider this an important point because as learning in the corporate sector becomes more informal, the employee’s motivation to drive their own development will become increasingly pivotal to their performance, and hence to the performance of the organisation as a whole. Open badges can formally recognise informal learning.

One of the biggest changes should be a shift from the traditional focus on static stocks of knowledge (a course mindset) to consideration for information flows. We haven’t really had a choice have we? Courses are time-consuming, expensive and most of them start to become out-dated as soon as they are created.

When we worry about the status of their credentials or lose sleep over their completion rates, we’re perpetuating an out-dated paradigm of education based on formal learning. I prefer to see MOOCs through the lens of informal learning which values the learning over its bureaucracy. I see more scope in pull learning.

These days, however, everyone seems to be creating their own online courses and distributing them via an LMS. If we dispense with online courses in favour of PDFs, how can we incorporate interactivity into the learning experience? Enter the Informal Learning Environment (ILE). Unlike a VLE, an ILE is strictly informal.
