THE FUTURE OF LEARNING

Informal learning and mobile learning are terms that are becoming more and more popular among instructors. Informal learning and mobile learning are terms that are becoming more and more popular among instructors. Let’s understand these terms by establishing a definition of each of them. To fully understand informal learning it is useful to define the terms “formal and informal”; formal learning happens when knowledge is captured and shared by people other than the original expert or owner of that knowledge and it can be in different formatwritten, video, audio, etc- as long as it can be accessed anytime and anywhere independent from the person who originally had it. Formal learning often requires prerequisites, pre and post assessment, tests and grades and it results in certifications. It is presented by an instructor and attendance and outcomes are tracked. Informal learning is what happens when knowledge has not been externalized or captured and exists only inside someone’s head. To get to the knowledge, you must locate and talk to that person. Examples of such informal knowledge is when watching a movie when chatting, or using internet, cell phone messages, etc.; some people think that informal learning means learning outside school, outside formal structures; it is more social, more students driven an not Mobile learning is integrating with the informal learning space, because mobile teacher-driven, it is life; and life is informal learning. means that the context is around you. You are not saying things in a classroom out of real context, you are not sitting in a formal course within an organization but you are actually there, where you need to be; you need to apply the context to the context itself, mobile learning enables us to use the context in a better way. Mobile learning an informal learning are taking place in the near future. If we take conferences for instance, we can find that people usually go to them because of other people and not because of the content. The content is just the share object for people to meet, the emphasis is the social interaction that takes place in such situations when people meet and in that way mobile technologies become useful. It’s kind of connecting the virtual and the physical spaces. Informal learning and mobile learning do not mean that teachers are not there, teachers are important in the process because they help students learn more quickly than they could without them. They are guides with a lamp showing the right path to follow. The role Technology is the key in mobile learning because knowledge con reside in non-human appliances so you can distribute knowledge in different systems, so computers, becomes a node in your learning network.

Talking about the future of learning, we should be more proactive in the learning process than reactive about learning and knowledge. Learning is a process, not an event. A Learnscape is where thatprocess plays out.

Mi Comentario. Escuchar a Teemu Arina fue interesante, ya que su propuesta del aprendizaje informal y móvil es muy interesante y en realidad estoy de acuerdo con su definición de estos conceptos pues como él menciona el aprendizaje informal se da en cada momento en nuestra vida diaria. De hecho nuestro primer encuentro con el conocimiento se dá de manera informal en casa antes de iniciar nuestra vida escolar donde el aprendizaje se vuelve formal y organizado. Considero que estos términos deben de ser cada vez más importantes en la vida actual, pues utilizar la tecnología que muchas veces nuestros estudiantes conocen más que nosotros como profesores, en pro del aprendizaje de un idioma. Por otro lado considero que es de vital importancia despertar en nuestros estudiantes la motivación y responsabilidad de su autoaprendizaje para coordinarlo y proveer las herramientas que ellos necesitan para lograr equipos de trabajo colaborativo y cooperativo en el desarrollo de habilidades, desempeño y competencia lingüística de LE.
