4. THE DIGITAL AGE
Over the last 15 years it
has
re-organized how we live,
how we communicate, and
how we learn

5. • Informal learning is a significant aspect of the learning
experience-Formal education no longer comprises all of
our learning.
• Learning now occurs in a variety of ways – through
communities of practice, personal networks, and through
completion of work-related tasks.
• Learning is a continual process- Learning and work related
activities are no longer separate. In many situations, they
are the same.
• Learning itself has changed-Many of the processes
previously handled by our minds, like memorizing large
amounts of information, can now be off-loaded to, or
supported by, technology.
