¿Qué es el aprendizaje informal?
Coombs (1985) define el aprendizaje informal como el aprendizaje espontáneo; un aprendizaje no estructurado que se desprende de nuestras actividades diarias, las cuales tienen lugar en distintos ambientes. Se trata, pues, de un concepto diferente al del aprendizaje formal que tiene lugar en las aulas y que es el objetivo de nuestro sistema educativo. El concepto de aprendizaje informal está muy relacionado con el de “lifelong learning“, que hace referencia a un aprendizaje continuo, que se produce a lo largo de la vida del individuo y que permite una constante construcción de conocimiento a partir del desarrollo de sus capacidades y habilidades y a partir de la interacción con los demás.

En otra ocasión en este Blog me referí a "¿Por qué comparto información y contenidos?". No voy a insistir en ello. En esta ocasión me permito traerles una relación de trabajos publicados por mí desde mediados de la década de los años 80 del pasado siglo hasta la actualidad. He de hacer la salvedad de que no están todos los que son. Es decir, en esta relación no están numerosos trabajos y publicaciones que no se encuentran en línea, en la mayoría de los casos debido a derechos editoriales de los que no soy responsable. Sobre todo, faltan los libros y los artículos últimamente publicados.

Despite growing pressure from policy makers and prospective students for colleges to prove their value, the institutions have often insisted that their unique missions make simple measurements forbiddingly difficult.
Now they have documented proof.

At many institutions, the current LMS is five or more years old. In that time, the teaching and learning context might have changed considerably, and other products, including open-source options, have emerged, raising the question of whether an institution should conduct a complete evaluation of its LMS strategy. The LMS serves as the linchpin of an institution’s teaching and learning enterprise, and as such it should provide maximum value and flexibility for the faculty. The examination of the LMS forces an institution to take a hard look at its teaching practices, to educate the faculty that the LMS can be more than a “course website,” and to invite them to use the full spectrum of teaching tools it provides. If a decision is made to replace the LMS, such an undertaking can bring with it a steep learning curve. As changes in education delivery and redefinition of student needs continue to reshape the modern campus, colleges and universities might find themselves adapting to pedagogical changes more frequently than in the past.

But the faculty senate chair and English professor at San Antonio College still has to schedule 10 office hours on campus each week.
“In a good semester,” she said, “I might see a half-dozen students in my office.” It's not that her students are incommunicado. She’ll frequently engage them on Skype or through e-mail, though those interactions are more likely to occur in the evenings or over the weekend than at set times in her office.
