What is Social Learning
Social learning: Learning that occurs within a social context. It considers that people learn from one another, including such concepts as observational learning, imitation, and modeling.
- J.E. Ormond, “Human Learning”, 1999
• It is not ‘Casual learning’
• It is inherently informal
• It requires communication
