Rule of Thumb
Briefly share what has been your most meaningful learning experience.
How did the learning occur?
Formal learning is like riding a bus: the driver
decides where the bus is going, the passengers are along for the ride.
Informal learning is like riding a bike: the rider
chooses the destination, the speed, and the route.
