So here is the lesson in learning Business learning today is designed to fill a skills or knowledge 'gap', to provide workers with skills and knowledge required in today's business world. In other words, 'predictable' learning needs lead to formal learning solutions - problem solved!

I tweet (as @stickylearning ) mainly about learning related topics and follow people who also have learning as their main focus. I'm also interested in how design thinking impacts upon learning and the use of visuals to communicate ideas and knowledge. My Top 25 Twitterers for Learning Not that easy to do I now realise!!

As someone who makes his livelihood by designing and facilitating learning experiences for businesses I should encourage all businesses to design bigger. Big, complex learning interventions! But, who is learning designed for? OK, it's obvious, learning should be designed to increase learning effectiveness.

I explained that this presentation is really two things, a summary of my own journey as my eyes were opened to the benefits of the design thinking process for learning. What does Design mean to you?

The anchor activates the mirror neuron, retrieving existing knowledge. Tags: Books Brain Creativity Ideas Learning Presentations Science Visuals.

However the problem is that the title Instructional Designer feeds into the notion that learning happens in formal settings and that knowledge is something that can be transferred through instruction. We design so that people can do what they need and/or want to do more effectively. .

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". So, to informal learning! I've followed many discussions on blogs, webinars and twitter asking to promote a greater use of informal learning in workplaces. It's a good point! Intravenous.

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? How can we harness new technologies to foster a culture of learning within our business?

In this post I'll introduce you briefly to the tools and how I think they apply to learning design. My interest in it goes beyond this however, as I'm very interested in the design of different learning options/tools that better engage people and lead to more effective learning experiences.

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. People become so engrossed in what they are doing that they don't see that they are learning - until they have learnt (if this makes sense?)

This means that it's more difficult to keep my own learning going – I need to actively seek out learning, and social contact.

Another year comes towards to an end and its been another year of great reading for anyone with an interest in learning. Once again I have read from a wide range of areas, all with something to add to how I think of learning. Businesses and indeed learning uses both these approaches, bonuses for performance, A+ for excellence etc.

Today's post flows nicely from yesterday's post on one type of Personal Learning Environment, Alltop, a site where you are able to aggregate your blog interests in one area. OK, what is a personal learning environment? The real test of an idea is having to write it down and publish it - this is real personal learning!

I have been reading articles lately from the Journal of Learning Design. For those who don't know of the journal, it is a journal that focuses on designing the learning environment to assist the learning process, concentrating on a design focus rather than technology and looking to move beyond a traditional instructional focus.

I respond, 'well I'm becoming more and more interested in the use of social media and microblogging for learning', I then get puzzled looks that say, "too much time on your hands", "what is he talking about?" For me though I see a real role for social media as a platform for business learning. and they nod politely! Where are we at?

Face-to-face learning was the dominant delivery method with some elearning to deliver generally fact-based knowledge, for example, induction, food safety, OHS and so forth.

Jane Hart raises an excellent point with her post, Learning without Design. but of course the real world isn’t about manufacturing missing pieces of a ‘knowable’ puzzle made up of knowledge/skills & behaviours. It’s about performance, not learning. Learning without Design’… but ‘ Performing through design’.

Option two however would technically be illegal (but it would be engaging, interesting and people would learn). Now for how this links in with learning. Read Only is how things used to be when it comes to learning, as education for the masses was formalised in the late 1800's education it was a method on transferring knowledge.

In an earlier post on Informal Learning I made the observation that social networks allow people to create their own villages of learning. What I meant by this is that people once had only one source of knowledge, the village. Even when a visitor brought new ideas, this new knowledge was shared amongst the group.

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.
