Importantly, informal learning is argued to be even more significant than formal learning initiatives. Given the widespread use of digital technologies in the workplace, what requires further attention is how digital technologies (eg, massive open online courses— MOOC ) enable informal learning processes. Drawing from C omplex A daptive S ystems ( CAS ) theory, in this paper we advance a conceptual model for examining this important topic. The two dimensional matrix and the micro‐level description of informal learning activities presented provide a framework for both further research on technology‐mediated practices for informal learning, as well as the design of formative contexts for learning to occur.Read More
