Informal learning is an everyday thing. Social media tools are just another platform we use to learn from each-other and find information serendipitously.

natashasana on 12 Oct 14Ad Huikeshoven , I do agree with you. There is nothing new with social learning. In the african context,that was the way of learning through informal gatherings, story tellings around fire or while drinking some traditional beer. Otherwise we are just acknowledging that, there is plenty to learn from each other and through each other. The wheel can not be reinvented for sure.
