1.) Formal (Perform programs)
by which is one learns, step by step, how to do …. (one special activity, or action, or procedure, etc).
Perform eLearning programs and lessons include 2 types:
Procedural transfer, named ‘near transfer’, for instance during the step by step training for a software language.
The fact that the steps of learning are (nearly) similar to the steps of a job, has led to the name ‘near transfer’.
Principle-based lessons, named ‘far transfer’. In this case the learner is trained for different possible situations, in which the learner has to judge and to adapt his reactions.
When applying, in real life situations, training by far lessons, the knowledge transfer is achieved by means of making the learner use judgements.
2.) Informal.
