Welcome to the Informal Learning Exchange!

Hi! Welcome to the Informal Learning Exchange. This blog is intended to provide a platform for discussion and debate about new ways of learning that make use of informal or non-traditional media. In particular, we will consider how entertainment and games are being used to help students learn a wide range of subjects, including language learning. We will also look at the influence of the internet and web 2.0 in facilitating the social aspects of informal learning, such as communities and gamification.

Articles and comments about all aspects of informal learning are welcome on the Informal Learning Exchange, but we are especially interested to hear from people who are using online digital media, games and social gaming to learn and teach.

The Informal Learning Exchange has been created by freelance business English teacher and communications consultant Robert Dennis, who is based in Milan. Robert has recently teamed up with English Attack! - the online learning platform that allows people to improve their English skills in a fun, entertaining way.

If you would like to find out more about English Attack! or how your organisation can benefit from informal learning, please contact Robert Dennis, who will be happy to discuss your needs.
