DISTRIBUTED COGNITION AND COLLABORATIVE INTELLIGENCE
Learning is not isolated to an individual. Our knowledge is a collective process that is ingrained across individuals, tools, media, and other resources. In this sense, the mind is an extension of the individual and knowledge exists relative to its surroundings. The collaborative nature of intelligence suggests that intellect is multiplied by the presence of others. When intelligence is distributed across a group in a collaborative format agents come together to augment the ideas of the individual.
INFORMAL LEARNING
This suggests the implicit education we are obtaining at all times outside of traditional structures like schools, lectures, textbooks, museums, etc. Informal learning is an impromptu experience that can be stimulated by any number of factors such as learning social cues by being operating within society, interpreting body language, and processing consequences of different actions.
