European guidelines for validating non-formal and informal learning

European guidelines for validating non-formal and informal learning | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
The development and implementation of validation relies on several interconnected elements that, when combined, can strengthen the role of validation at national and European levels. The guidelines put the individual at the heart of the process, responding to needs and objectives. They provide insights into validation provision and methodologies and how the process can be coordinated and carried out.

Informal Learning – A Necessary Tool to Enhance Training

Informal Learning – A Necessary Tool to Enhance Training | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
One of your colleagues is having a problem filling out an online form; what is he most likely to do, go to an eLearning course that explains the process or ask the colleague sitting next to him? If your answer is the latter, it is no surprise. Informal learning happens frequently in the workplace.

Leveraging Informal Learning Methods

Leveraging Informal Learning Methods | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

By definition, informal learning is an unofficial, unscheduled, and impromptu way that many people learn today. It usually takes the form of reading articles, books, viewing online courses in spare time, or going to a seminar rather than registering into a formal course.

 

Informal learning is growing because it is usually efficient, autonomous, relevant, accessible, and flexible.

 

People love learning. It is easy to open up a web-browser and search for a topic to find out more information. One survey found that nine out of 10 people indicated they enjoyed learning.

 

Interestingly, in this same survey nearly 40% of working professionals haven’t taken a single course of any type since they were in college.

I felt I ought to write this piece, after reading today that investment in e-learning is due to grow to 107 billion in 2015 & this Andreessen Horrowitz podcast on the ‘software eats the world’ theme – referencing education. Yes, I know I said it’s a zombie conversation, but with headlines as big as these, I just can’t resist taking another stab at it.

Why is there a problem with online education?

Because we’re throwing money at something that is broken. It’s broken for two main reasons: we don’t really understand learning – i.e. we don’t actually have a solid theoretical framework on which to answer simple questions like ‘what is good learning?’ ‘How do people learn?’ and secondly it’s broken because in the absence of a foundation, all manner of dysfunctional conventions which arose in the Victorian era are now being carried into the digital approach.
