Informal learning has been defined in diverse ways. One seminal work defines informal learning as “any activity involving the pursuit of understanding, knowledge or skill which occurs outside the curricula of educational institutions, or the courses or workshops offered by educational or social agencies” [54, p.2]. Conventionally, learning takes place in formal educational institutions and leads to credits or degrees. Informal learning, in contrast, is the outcome of everyday living experiences and this type of learning can be “noncredit, leisure oriented and short term” [62, p.21]. Facilitation of understanding, knowledge and skill outside formal learning surroundings is growing in importance in relation to businesses, government and cultural institutions [8]—thus the need for research in this emerging field.
