The document discusses reflection deficit disorder and identifies five challenges in informal learning: making sense of abundant information, knowing how one learns best, proving learning has occurred, facts being transferred just in case rather than applied, and a lack of necessary reflection. While tools exist to create, gather, share and reflect, people still suffer from reflection deficit disorder. The cure for this disorder will be explored by selecting another panel.
