Informal Learning 2.0 Update

Listen to this 8-minute update if you want to know about the Informal Learning 2.0 Fieldbook.

Books are an increasingly obsolete medium. My book on informal learning froze my thoughts as it came off the presses, as if the world is not always changing. Publishers spend a year doing what other sectors do in a month.

Hence, I’m assembling an un-book. Listen to the update.

I am really into all that with informal learning, but at the same time I appreciate consuming books. I actually used your book on informal learning to prepare a presentation to my coworkers on informal learning, what it is, advantages etc. It’s about variety in learning offerings, isn’t it?

I definitely will follow you unbook process, would like to be in it, but I don’t want to promise more than I kan keep. I currently reorganize my time management. With the summer coming I will spend more time in my garden than in front of the PC :-)

Jay,

The unbook sounds fun.

But I still think books have a role to play too.

What I like about them is that they pull lots of different thoughts together into an integrated story.

I find blogging very therapeutic for all the reasons you mention in your update. But there was something special, and a spacial sort of challenge, involved in bringing lots of different ideas together into a whole.

Books provide width whilst social media provides depth, perhaps?

Best, Jon.
