Informal Learning

from George Siemens
"Informal learning is too important leave to chance. But why don't we have theories that provide guidelines (I imagine "steps 1, 2, and 3" approaches would be a bit at odds with informal learning) to designing in these environments? Or is the notion of informal learning to vague (free spirited?) and applying increased design is an effort in futility?"

after the post a conversation emerges which tackles the matter further.
