This is a curated directory of institutions, organizations, and resources focused on formal, non-formal, and informal education1. We are continually expanding it and welcome your contributions.
Formal Learning
Formal learning is learning typically provided by an education or training institution, structured (in terms of learning objectives, learning time or learning support) and leading to certification. Formal learning is intentional from the learner’s perspective.
Holistic Communication:
Teaching like Jesus
Training in orality, ranging from workshops to webinars, specific training for organizations, and advanced academic programs.
ThM/PhD in Orality Studies
This program is the first of its kind in the world and addresses the growing demand for high-quality orality scholarship, research, and practice. It pairs global orality experts with Majority-World practitioners and scholars to ensure the best contextual, applicable, and diverse learning experience and research.
Presenting Orality in Academic Contexts
This paper was originally presented at the Hong Kong 2013 ION Consultation. It gives insight into the challenges involved in incorporating a truly oral approach within a highly literate, propositional, and Western academic environment.
Non-formal Learning
Non-formal learning is learning which takes place through planned activities (in terms of learning objectives, learning time) where some form of learning support is present (e.g. learner-teacher relationships).
Informal Learning
Informal learning is learning from daily activities related to work, family or leisure which is not organised or structured in terms of objectives, time or learning support; it may be unintentional from the learner’s perspective.
