Maybe this is the reason why we learn much more informally. Structured learning does have higher stresslevel. If we can come up with equally stress-free assesment methods for informal learning we are in for a break through. I am so impressed with this blog that I want to share mine and if possible get a feedback on how unconscious sharing can be linked to e-learning. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.<BR/><BR/>My blog is on Yahoo 360.<BR/><BR/>http://au.blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-KOxfltcifqizd1Pl300ZHcuBkQ--;_ylt=AknLRXiyLF8bFirrdnoMejnkdeJ3?cq=1Rina Tripathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855126746398058962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-1153240784439052562006-07-18T09:39:00.000-07:002006-07-18T09:39:00.000-07:00We all know informal learning is not new and that ...We all know <B>informal learning</B> is not new and that it is a new buzz out there, for what reason,... I am not sure. Aren't we all learning informally most of the time? I think so. Why is it such a buzz? Again, not sure. I guess we'll all have to wait for Jay Cross' book to come out and open our eyes on informal learning - or maybe I should re-read what's on his web site at <A HREF="http://www.internettime.com/Learning/The%20Other%2080%25.htm" REL="nofollow"> The Other 80%</A>. Anyways, my take on informal learning is a little blurry but I think there is value in there; not as a way to do things but as a way to gather tons of data (maybe even too much data) and tap on this data to "inter-connect" knowledge chunks, linking these chunks with "formal" learning chunks accessible through search engines, etc... It may sound way too complex, but feasible. Is informal learning linked to performance, should it be... OK, I get it: I have more questions than answers - hence the blurryness of my understanding of that informal learning beast. Lots to find out - but that's good, it's informal! :)Guy L.
