Non-Formal Learning

Position paper on promoting non-formal learning in face-to-face contexts through use of ICTs

Geri-Lynn Ryan, Memorial University of Newfoundland

This position paper argues in favour of the need to use information and communication technologies (ICTs) to address the challenges of promoting non-formal learning in traditional classroom settings. In this position paper, the terms non-formal and informal learning are used synonymously and the term ICTs is intended to include the use of social media and Web 2.0 technologies.
