Jay Cross, the author of the 2007 seminal book, Informal Learning, Rediscovering the Natural Pathways that Inspire Innovation and Performance , recently wrote a blog post in which he explained that although there has been a lot of talk about “informal learning” in the last five years, there has been very little action.

In the first post, I addressed the application of personalization in K12. In this post I address use cases that apply to a high-skilled knowledge workforce. Personalization for the high-skill knowledge worker. Personalized learning has different applications for different audiences.

There's a fantastic post by Stephen Downes - New Technology Supporting Informal Learning. In many cases, I find myself searching for the right person as an answer to my learning / work need rather than finding the right content. People naturally congregate and interact around content that they've found interesting.

From Wikipedia's description of Knowledge Economy , quoting Peter Drucker (1966): A manual worker works with his hands and produces "stuff". A knowledge worker works with his head and produces ideas, knowledge, and information. What's the most important skill of a knowledge worker?

Will we still continue to speak about learning as an activity to be undertaken in order to be effective at work? Or will work itself subsume learning enabled by a transformed L&D / facilitators / coaches / mentors and the "right" organizational culture?

In this post, I want to demystify working out loud and highlight the organizational as well as personal growth that accrues from the practice. I am a huge believer of the practice because I have experienced the effect first hand. It has helped me to develop my personal learning network (PLN) and enabled my PKM.

When the question is phrased this way, I'd be surprised if Matthew wouldn't be able to talk to these tools in the context of their impact on personal learning and formal learning. Learning professionals must be actively promoting (through tactical application) their use in our organizations.
