The point is that 70:20:10 is a model of what “is” Our target audience does undertake 70% of its learning on the job, 20% via interacting with others, and 10% off the job (or thereabouts). Consider not only the elements in the framework, but also the interactions between them. Both of these approaches miss the point.
