    "My interest in eportfolio tools grew out of efforts to solve a very practical problem: how to allow students to manage and share files (especially large media files) beyond the confines of the institutional learning management system. Students were increasingly asking for better ways to collaborate with classmates and share course and assignment files, as well as for the ability to access their work beyond the duration of a single course. My experimentation with with eportfolio tools began with Mahara, an open source eportfolio application. I piloted the use of Mahara with a small group of students to test whether it would meet their file sharing needs. It was quickly apparent that without faculty engagement, students would be unlikely to invest time in using such a system on their own. This led me to wonder if other institutions had been down similar paths. "

  • 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.
