Informal and Collaborative Learning. Editing the Wikipedia

The accessibility and use of the Internet have resulted in a greater capacity to share information easily and in an improvement of the communication of science and technology to the general public. On the other hand, both in School and University, students are not accustomed to teamwork. These habits of informal and collaborative learning can be introduced by the both School or University education as a complement to formal learning.
