Understanding "learning" - some more thoughts
My colleagues at the Internet Time Alliance have been thinking a lot about what "learning" and being a "learner" means. This has been part of the ongoing discussion we have been having about the hijacking of terms like informal and social learning by "snake oil sellers".
Jay Cross has become well known for helping organisations understand that learning is either formal or informal .
In my Social Learning Handbook I identified 5 categories of learning : Formal Structured Learning , Personal Directed Learning , Group Directed Learning , Intra-Organisational Learning and Accidental & Serendiptous Learning .

Informal learning from the horse’s mouth
Every morning, my email is littered with very basic questions about informal learning. I’ve been ranting about informal and computer-supported learning in organizations for twelve years now. I’m the Johnny Appleseed of networked, social learning

Blogging and Collaboration
That's merely informative -- or it's the formal learning we did before blogging took hold. That circularity transforms how you are valuable and how you learn. Forcing yourself to formulate thoughts and capture those into written form for public consumption is a great learning vehicle. But I think you Great post by Tom Haskins says - among other things: If a blog post does not feed back into the blogosphere, that's not blogging. If the value of your blogging is not endlessly recursive, then you can conceive of your value like before.

Using SharePoint
The reality is that what we did on the Work Literacy course or what I did for my Collaborative Learning Course could easily be supported by the various types of web parts within SharePoint. Using SharePoint for Work Team or Communities of Practice (CoP) Collaboration Outside of any particular formal learning, many training organizations are using SharePoint to support work teams. I've been having fabulous conversations about using SharePoint. SharePoint is so flexible and the documentation for it is so big and diverse, that a big part of my goals have

Web 2.0 Applications in Learning
Applications in Learning. Oh, and I'm going to go in order according to the topics covered in the session. Existing Adoption At the very start I asked the audience for examples of where they were currently using these tools as part of learning solutions. There were about 7 examples mentioned including Intuit using a Wiki-like system for customers to ask questions/get advice around taxes, using a group blog with students prior to a formal learning event, the US Army's use of collaboration tools to share best practices in Iraq, and several Last week I presented a session at ASTD TechKnowledge entitled eLearning 2.0 - Applications and Implications.

The 7 c’s of natural learning
referred to supporting the activities that we find in natural learning, for both formal and informal learning. In thinking about it (and borrowing heavily from some slides by Jay Cross ), I discerned (read: worked hard to fit :) 7 C’s of learning that characterize how we learn before schooling extinguishes the love of learning:
Crash : our commitment means we make mistakes, and learn from them.
Yesterday I talked about the seeding, feeding, and weeding necessary to develop a self-sustaining network. I

Social learning in the enterprise
This past year, my Internet Time Alliance colleague Jane Hart changed her title to Social Learning Consultant . Whereas early e-learning was all about delivering content, primarily in the form of online courses, produced by experts and managed via learning management systems, Social Learning is about creating and sharing information and knowledge with other people using (often free) social media tools that support a collaborative approach to learning.
Why?
Social Learning is fast becoming recognised as a valuable way of supporting formal

Learning Design in a Nut Shell
I've recently updated my mental model of how I go about Learning Design, so I thought I'd share. These days is that we have such a big mix of different delivery models, tools, etc. In fact, the Art of Learning Design is dealing with the variability of the myriad of performance needs, considerations and possible delivery models and tools; working through the combinations; to arrive at a delivery pattern that will be effective. and such different kinds of blends that emerge that it's difficult to feel comfortable and confident with what tools to use in what situation.

Work Skills Keeping Up?
In New Work and New Work Skills , I discuss the fact that most of us have not participated in formal learning since college on foundational knowledge work skills - especially metacognitive skills. Our last formal learning used card catalogs, microfiche readers, Xerox machines, libraries, etc. Most of us have strong skills in some areas and are much weaker in others simply due to the fact that we acquire our skills in completely ad hoc ways. When were you taught: how to take take notes on a laptop during a meeting, how to filter a flood of new content, how to reach out via networks to find expertise, how to leverage the wisdom of crowds? Tilde Effect What epitomizes the situation for me is the Google ~ operator.

The marginalized training function
If you look at what makes a good situation for formal learning:
Knowledge workers need to learn from the emergent processes they continuously create to deal with a complex environment. That means making things up (creativity) based on best guesses and collaboration and making parts of these processes tangible enough to pass on for their ever-shortening half-lives.
Tony Karrer clarifies his comments about traditional training becoming “marginalized”, which is worth a full read but I’d like to pick up on this comment:
