Informal learning

This type of learning is never organized. Rather than being guided by a rigid curriculum, it is often thought of experiential and spontaneous. From the learner's standpoint at least, this is non-purposive learning which takes place in everyday life contexts in the family, at work, during leisure and in the community.
