But I think it goes farther - if we are unable to self organise our own learning, we tend not to gain ownership of it. This is also vital in fostering intrinsic motivation - I will write another blog post later when I have reflected on it a little more. :-) Cheers Steve This is an interesting discussion Tillman, and as you suggest the entire argument hinges on whether we can relate formal learning demands to our own self interests.

Informal learning - learning - is generally a response to challenges, so by definition we are interested. But I agree you can't always rely on people's intrinsic motivation - that's why your best school teachers are generally the enthusiatic, passionate ones - because they wrap the uninteresting data in emotional metadata, and do so extrinsically rather than intrinsically. We've done some research on this recently... when we ask about people's most significant learning they often cite people or experiences that have inspired them - so this is our challenge with PLEs - certainly to link to stuff they are already motivated to learn, but also to inspire and encourage them in new directions. The key, as always, is emotion.
