Here’s a nice, short piece in Learning Circuits summarizing Sam Adkins’ take on workflow learning. One point of clarification that I found particularly helpful:

To begin with, two days ago, I got an email from Anne Henry at the Workflow Institute responding to this post, thanking me for spreading the use of the term “workflow learning” and sending me a [...]
