This episode’s thinkers were driven by a common belief that while practically all the attention and money in training and education is lavished on formal interventions, informal means of learning account for a much larger proportion of what actually happens. How should this insight change our view of learning, and what role does technology play?   Donald and John discuss a movement that has come to seem more and more prescient as learning technology has developed, and whose ideas are becoming increasingly mainstream: informal learning.
