From Informal to Formal: Connecting Learning Experiences in Smart Learning Environments

Abstract

Learners have ubiquitous informal learning opportunities, but it is difficult to take advantage from them and relate them to their formal education. The connection of formal and informal learning is one of the aims of SLEs, but how to do it is still a question. This paper explores such connection by integrating the mobile application Casual Learn to the SLE SCARLETT and it discusses the challenges faced in such integration.
