Designing for Learning in a Networked World provides answers to the following questions: what skills are required for living in a networked world; how can educators design for learning these skills and what role can and should networked learning play in a networked world? It discusses central theoretical concepts and draws on current debates about competences necessary to thrive in contemporary society. The book presents detailed analyses of skills needed and investigates the question of how one can design for learning in specific empirical cases, ranging in academic level from preschool to university teaching. The book clarifies the different conceptions of design within the educational field and offers a framework for thinking critically about instances of networked learning. It analyses digital and Computational Literacy and discusses participatory skills for learning in a networked world. Examples of specific empirical cases include teaching programming to students not necessarily intrinsically motivated to learn; facilitation of a participatory public in the library and designs for children's transition from day-care to primary school, discussed as a matter of networked contexts. Engaging thoughtfully with the question of '21st century skills', this book will be vital reading to scholars, researchers and students within the fields of education, networked learning, learning technology and the learning sciences, digital literacy, design for learning, and library studies.

The Kagiso readers series is an illustrated graded reading scheme for the foundation phase, which presents a range of situations and contexts authentically and realistically. These readers will enable learners to develop literacy skills incrementally and with confidence to motivate them to read further. Reading is integrated with other aspects of language, thus developing listening, speaking, writing, thinking and reasoning skills, as well as language structure and usage. Available in the following languages: English, Afrikaans, Siswati, Sesotho, Xitsonga, Tshivenda, IsiZulu, IsiXhosa, Setswana, Sepedi, IsiNdebele.
