Types of informal learning carried out (3) In our centre, informal learners would like to be able to learn all kind of what is classed as 'leisure' courses, e.g. home management , photography, digital photography, basic computing skills . We often put informal courses on in response to demand such as: Spanish conversation, card making, digital filming and editing and Family History workshops. People come in to check and purchase tickets , especially airlines so online shopping/payment is supplied. We have an agreement locally with Jobcentre plus , who direct jobseekers to us for assistance with CVs, Jobsearch and basic computer skills . The important activity for these visitors are generally email, web browsing and typing up documents . We are running a Lottery project based around healthy eating and active living . … we use computers to look at self catering, food safety, savings, renting property, budgeting etc. Examples of informal learning mentioned We get a significant number of people visiting for help with online job applications , preparing and printing CV's and Jobsearch .

Peer to peer learning (1) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Peer to peer learning is seen by most to be invaluable
Peer to peer learning (2) ,[object Object],… many people have founded friendships as a result of regular attendance at informal learning opportunities. I think the indications are that it does contribute to social cohesion . It’s important to encourage friendliness and communication between people from different walks of life , ages and ethnic/cultural backgrounds. You can’t push this but I like to encourage respect and a different way of seeing each other.
Role of volunteers ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
The role of technology ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],We developed the concept of A Digital Village … where the interests of the learning community set the agenda for what they learn. This was done using Community Media and innovative use of ICT , particularly open source software and web2 applications . We have a Smartboard , which is endlessly useful , and promotes interaction within a group . Our software includes network tutor tools , enabling us to create a virtual classroom environment . Smartboards are also an excellent tool.

How is informal learning being measured? (1) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
How is informal learning being measured? (2) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],… informal interest based learning can improve health and wellbeing… It is very difficult to quantify and thus track and report on these so called 'soft targets'… We collect data from these via feedback and initial progress form. But we do not have the staff available to turn this into a full set of courses and create individual Plans and progression charts for learners as yet.
Overriding view is that funding is limited ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
How can funding for informal learning be improved? (1) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
How can funding for informal learning be improved? (2) Current frustrations include a lot of funding being poured into support materials and marketing for initiatives but very little available for delivery … I think it would be great to have funding available for the individual so that they could chose a subject they are interested in; not target driven … With hard to reach learners you need to be able to grab the chance while you can not send them away. … a lot of the Government contracts seem to concentrate only on short unemployed or facing redundancy people and the ones wanting to learn ICT for use in their daily lives are finding it very difficult to find any funded courses. What we need is long term funding to enable us to support informal learners. We were lucky to receive money … which means we had lots of new people but then it ended and we had to look for more money to support tutor costs. Once the tutors go sometimes the people leave too as they get attached to a particular person.

(2) Current frustrations include a lot of funding being poured into support materials and marketing for initiatives but very little available for delivery … I think it would be great to have funding available for the individual so that they could chose a subject they are interested in; not target driven … With hard to reach learners you need to be able to grab the chance while you can not send them away. … a lot of the Government contracts seem to concentrate only on short unemployed or facing redundancy people and the ones wanting to learn ICT for use in their daily lives are finding it very difficult to find any funded courses. What we need is long term funding to enable us to support informal learners. We were lucky to receive money … which means we had lots of new people but then it ended and we had to look for more money to support tutor costs. Once the tutors go sometimes the people leave too as they get attached to a particular person.
