  • Informal learning is driven by conversations, communities of practice, context, reinforcement through practice and now social media to “optimise organisational performance”. Blogs, wikis, podcasts, peer-to-peer sharing, aggregators, social media and personal knowledge management are all emergent phenomena, unlike the top-down tools and content that traditional e-learning has provided.
  • There’s still a need for underpinning learning with good content, from books to full courses, especially for novices and business critical training such as compliance. You can’t let people who don’t know what they need to know, drift, so there’s a time and place for structured, formal learning.
  • Even ‘e-learning’ is avoided as it also leads to a default of dull, page-turning courses.

  • Cross asks us to reflect on the obvious, but shocking, fact that almost all of our attention (and spend) goes on the formal side, while the majority of the action is informal. Much to his credit he does not abandon formal learning, but asks us to consider the accelerating role of technology in on informal learning. He moves us beyond traditional LMS and content model and beyond blended learning to a newer more naturalistic model of learning, based on real behaviour and contemporary technology.

    Clark introduces Cross, who in turn distinguishes pushed learning from pulled learning. Clark also provides a short bibliography of Cross's work.

    Revisiting the Community of Inquiry Framework: July 9-22, 2012 Facilitators:  Cindy Xin and  Sarah Haavind Since its original publication, Garrison, Anderson and Archer's (2000) "Critical Inquiry in A Text-based Environment: Computer Conferencing in Higher Education" has inspired a great many researchers and advanced our understanding of online learning and online education. In recent years, a number of reviews of the Community of Inquiry framework (CoI) have been published, including, Garrison and Arbaugh's (2007), Swan and Ice (2010). Cindy Xin, author of a recently-published critique (Xin, 2012) will be with us to explain her argument and, together with Sarah Haavind, facilitate a discussion reconsidering the CoI and its recent reviews and critiques. By provoking new thoughts and possibly constructing new theories and methods, we hope to further our understanding of online discussion in particular, and online education in general.

    Anderson and Anderson (2010) characterize online continuing professional education (CPE) conferences as "structured, time[-]delineated" events involving "distributed population[s]" in synchronous or asynchronous use of "online communication and collaboration tools" (p. 15). They suggest that these characteristics may enhance "both the quantity and quality of interaction" in formal CPE sessions, thanks to possibilities for preliminary access to conference materials, world-wide participation, and asynchronous as well as real-time interpersonal engagements (p. 22), which in turn may promote constructivist and connectivist modes of learning within professional communities of practice (pp. 7-10).
