How do people bump into new affordances for learning. How to find, cultivate, or design new affordances.
What do we call new affordances for learning like this ⬇️(ref rt'd one)?, which is not recognised as learning tool or source in the traditional sense..For me it was(is) Twitter and my blog.@petergoodyear @markauskaite @timbocop , any official name?? https://t.co/1E6OrSWpz7

if we need a special term, I would call them "Post-digital affordances" (without refs). They are affordances made available by our (post-digital) cultures. https://t.co/UR1cQ2hCZa

I really like the question. @username_render used “collateral learning” which Dewey(??) used for indirect learning that's contingent on motivation & environment (inc. social). But what affords that learning? There’s a sort of unintentional or semi-intentional appropriation?

In @username_render’s case, the game is engaging & needs indirect learning (reading) to support participation. Reading is part of its logic. Its pedagogic core is its (engagement) hook: if it keeps you interested, you will learn what you need to learn to keep participating.

Another relevant tweet
Basically, affordances are properties of tasks, and if you aren’t learning within the bounds of that task, you have no access to that affordance and so can’t learn it.
