70:20:10/informal learning. You may agree that there are many


differing descriptions, or you may not, but I hope we can all be certain of one thing: there is an ongoing opportunity for us to each take responsibility for developing our own knowledge of L&D as we move forward and progress. At the same time there is a risk. When


you learn from someone else, there is always a chance that there is something inaccurate in that person’s explanation, just like a social media post that presents itself as fact but is actually opinion. But should that stop us as professionals


from seeking to develop ourselves through exposure to others’ experiences? Absolutely not – we should grab it with both hands, just like our learners do already. So what does this mean in the context of


the WoL 2016 and the Learning Design Live sessions the eLN will be supporting? In my opinion, we’re all learners, and we all need to take responsibility for our own development; we need to make sure that we take advantage of all of the informal learning opportunities available at WoL 2016. Let’s walk a mile in someone else’s


shoes, let’s do what we ask our learners to do, and let’s learn through exposure to other people’s experiences. As we go, we’ll need to judge for ourselves what is most reliable, perhaps by comparing expert opinions at the exhibition, and building our personal experience. We mustn’t get complacent, but we should take pride and comfort from the progress we’re making. Now, more than ever, I think the value that we can gain from the experiences of others, and by making the most of our professional network, can help us to keep the momentum and propel L&D into an impactful future. It’s there if we want it, we just need to grab it. If we do, then we are best placed to translate our own personal learning experiences into ways of supporting the experiences had by people in our own organisations.


If you want to carry on this conversation or start one on any other topic, then come and see the directors and members of the eLN at the Learning Design Live Lounge at WoL 2016. n
