Hence Kirschner, Kreijns and others have introduced the concept of 'sociability' as an element or property of the educational design (aka 'social affordances'), especially when it comes to CSCL.<br />It seems (or at least I think) we somehow automatically interpret the non-task oriented context as being informal, leaving effective interaction of learners to chance.Paulo Moekottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198924748785801436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-1168604047284012322011-04-12T20:48:40.019+02:002011-04-12T20:48:40.019+02:00Hi Paulo, thanks for this report, I'm definite...Hi Paulo, thanks for this report, I'm definitely going to read it. After I wrote this post, I discovered more people are thinking in this direction. It strikes me now that often when we say learning we mean 'teaching activity' or 'intervention'. We may have to improve our language..Joitskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087406142343521335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-25286342401311941002011-04-12T19:57:03.671+02:002011-04-12T19:57:03.671+02:00Dear Joitske,

This gradual distinction between 'more or less formal' is concieved as 'attributes and aspects of formality and informality in learning'.
