ADC was an opportunity to view situated learning in action.
People discussed their problems and projects. Others listened and then offered counsel if desired.
Todd Little and Alistair Cockburn had created a four day conversation in which all participants took part. Everyone was a legitimate peripheral participant.
I have decided to upgrade Situated Learning from a "borrow" to a "strong buy". It is an academic book that is difficult to read but worth the efffort, especially when you get to see it in action as I did at ADC. I had to read it twice to get it.
