You might be able to guess some of the formal learning characteristics since you’ve experienced them all in the classroom: A teacher offers the information to the student(s).

Essentially the Web is not just evolving gradually as it absorbs the impact of smartphones and social media; it’s changing so radically that it might be better to look at what’s happening as the birth of an entirely new concept of internet interactivity and learning. Within that shrinking slice of online time, Facebook is increasingly the portal for everything. Search engines, once the gatekeepers to the Web, are giving way to Facebook.

Whether you’re short on time, learner motivation, or just need to improve your learning culture, informal eLearning experiences offer a fresh, less rigorous way of thinking about learning. Now, informal learning is no new thing. Or what you learn about a colleague when you assist in their orientation process. Much of what we learn in the “real world” happens informally, and often without our awareness. Informal does not mean undesigned.

If we separate the human aspect of social networking from the technology, we can learn a lot more about the power of networks – not just from today’s pundits, but from many years of sociological research on the topic. The real discovery came when they posed problems for various employees to solve. Instead, tell them where to get the information they need, when they need it.
