All learning is social. People learn what works by conversing with one another informally. Just as information is not instruction, telling is not teaching. Smart systems and personalized bots track our preferences, performance, accomplishments, and learning signatures to recommend learning experiences we may enjoy. Learners bozo-filter content rated poorly by their peers.
Collaborative filters suggest links enjoyed by others in one's professional and social communities.
One link may call up an informative customer comment or the next a celebrity lecture on the net. An entire world of learning is always but a micro - payment away. Not that all learning takes place on a desktop. People learn in smart rooms, from wireless portables, anywhere they please. Learning is food for thought.
