Slide deck of the week: 8 reasons to focus on informal learning

Two years old but well worth your time. Charles Jennings looks at the eight reasons to focus on informal learning. They are:

1. There are imperatives for informal learning
2. Learning is a process, not a series of of events
3. Most learning occurs outside of the classroom
4. The vast majority of learning is social
5. A lot of formal learning is ineffective
6. People learn better when they are in charge
7. There’s inherent inertia in formal approaches
8. Informal and social learning are cost-effective
