Reading your thoughts reminded me of something: the importance of a guide (or mentor or coach or instructional designer). Back in the day, as I understand it, learning how to make things involved apprenticeships. I think this is the original social learning: learning under someone’s guidance. In an apprenticeship context the 70:20:10 is flipped: the coach (expert, practitioner) provides the bulk of the learning experience with job aids or courses being (initially) minimal.

What I took away from Dr. Westera’s article is that today the Internet (with all its media, social connections and other resources) is the 70; the Internet, I think, is a collection of job-aids. The coach (teacher, mentor, instructional designer) helps the student filter what is important within their context. Over time, as the student gains mastery, I can see the ratios shifting to what you describe: 70:20:10 (OJT, coaching, formal).

Anyway, that’s how it makes sense to me.
