Formal/Informal in the Web Era. An update on the Issue
Informal learning practices are self-directed recreational, family and daily activities, not organised and structured in terms of targets, number of hours or learning materials. In most cases they are not intentional (e.g. learning from watching a film, travelling, volunteer activity, playing music in a band, etc.). In practice, there is no learning activity that does not mix together elements of formal/non formal and informal systems. As a consequence, learning is a convergence of heterogeneous learning systems, including less structured systems.
