Not all types of learning use all of these types of activities.
For example, voluntary sector training does not always formally assess learners. The categories are not meant to be understood rigidly – the point is not to worry unduly about how to categorise activities but to use the categories to think about different activities you can use to help people learn.
The next activity explores this approach further.
