I quickly scanned some topics and made mental note to come back. I am fascinated by the concepts in this article. In the sense that I've been thinking them in a deliberate and informal sense for some time. I am using blogging to journal out my EdD experience and jot down notes that occur. It has opened my mind up to so many new avenues. Proof that informal learning does take place and is valuable. I was searching my Technorati watchlists this morning and came across the blog.

I also wonder how LCMS' interplay with informal learning? Knowledge Factor's system allows IDs to still have a formal eLearning course however it is not delivered like a formal eLearning course. Instead learners start with a formative assessment that then creates an individualized learning plan for them - and gives them all the content and links for further learning in one system. It's pretty neat. Here's the link: http://www.knowledgefactor.com/ Thanks! I wonder how Knowledge Factor’s Confidence-Based Learning system might be able to meet this need?

People shuffle in and out of 45-75 minutes talks and by the end of the conference-"zombies" or in Pink Floyd terms "Comfortably Numb". There's got to be a better, more interactive, more dynamic way. Actually it's gotten worse as presenters/teachers rely on Powerpoint. It’s not just young people and courses I attend a lot of Conferences in my field, 2-4 days.
