Bringing people and resources together for informal learning by Darrel Rader
What's a learning circle?
It's a community space where people come together to learn about a subject. A learning circle rounds up resources and guided learning activities that have been chosen by subject matter experts. Use these activities to create your own personalized learning roadmaps.
How do you learn in today’s world? For a lot of us, paying (and finding time) for traditional classroom training is a thing of the past. Today, most of us expect continuous learning at our fingertips. We learn from our social networks like LinkedIn, Twitter, and others. Our favorite classroom is a place called YouTube. I recently became a decent bricklayer thanks to YouTube and a guy who lives in Australia some 9000 miles away from me.
Technology gives us something that we’ve never had before: access to people and what they share without the traditional barriers of cost, time, or geographic location. Anyone with an internet connection is now able to take a course from a prestigious university with access to trusted experts and peers anytime, and anywhere – and it’s free.
