Networked learning is learning in which information and
communications technology (ICT) is used to promote connections:
between one learner and other learners; between learners and
tutors; between a learning community and its learning resources.
Networked learning is an area which has great practical and
theoretical importance. It is a rapidly growing area of educational
practice, particularly in higher education and the corporate
sector.
This volume brings together some of the best research in the
field, and uses it to signpost some directions for future work. The
papers in this collection represent a major contribution to our
collective sense of recent progress in research on networked
learning. In addition, they serve to highlight some of the largest
or most important gaps in our understanding of studentsa (TM)
perspectives on networked learning, patterns of interaction and
online discourse, and the role of contextual factors. The range of
topics and methods addressed in these papers attests to the
vitality of this important field of work. More significant yet is
the complex understanding of the field that they combine to create.
In combination, they help explain some of the key relationships
between teachersa (TM) and learnersa (TM) intentions and
experiences, the affordances of text-based communications
technologies and processes of informed and intelligent educational
change.
