Professor Dib created an important structure that can be used to attach the many and various activities that fall in the category of this title. While I plan to use his structure, I will be emphasizing a different component of his spectrum and promoting a different need. Professor Dib suggested a critical need to move our teaching styles away from formal modes to non‐formal modes of delivery. I suggest an equally critical need in the area of informal education. And, I will propose aways to move us toward the same goal, non‐formal activities. I believe we need to find ways to use the many informal education activities that occur almost automatically in our societies to move our potential learners to richer non‐formal endeavors. Both needs are real; both activities are valid.
