Each learning process is based on two main types of external actions. The first one is the set of preplanned activities of the teaching staff. These actions build the traditional curriculum. The second set of activities is connected with interactions between the students and the university environment. A hidden component can be detected in both of these types of actions. It is not directly associated with the content of lectures and practical exercises. However, this component is very important. The hidden component also creates a number of important knowledge and practical techniques. The list of the main hidden skills and abilities was developed. Simultaneously, students get team work skills and several other important personal behaviours. Some new skills necessary for information work were discussed. The actions which create these behaviours are also hidden. Therefore, these activities are never included in the standard instructional programs and schedules. However, these processes can be controlled. Some ideas devoted to planning hidden processes and their optimisation both directly in curriculum and in environmental interactions are discussed.
