Abstract
The evolution of new technology and its increasing use, has for some
years been making the existence of informal learning more and more
transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education
and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, coursebased,
approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal
processes satisfactorily. The project aims to facilitate first the identification by
the learner (as the last responsible of the learning process), and then the
recognition by the institution, in dialogue with the learner, of this learning. To
do so a methodology and a technological framework to support it have been
implemented. This project has been tested in several contexts showing that an informal learning dialogue between learners and people in charge
of the institutions is possible.
