The Design, Experience and Practice of Networked Learning
Edited by: Vivien Hodgson, Maarten de Laat, David McConnell and Thomas Ryberg
This book brings together a wealth of new research that opens up the meaning of connectivity as embodied and promised in the term ‘networked learning’. Chapters explore how contexts, groups and environments can be connected rather than just learners; how messy, unexpected and emergent connections can be made rather than structured and predefined ones; and how technology connects us to learning and each other, but also shapes our identity. These exciting new perspectives ask us to look again at what we are connecting and to revel in new and emergent possibilities arising from the interplay of social actors, contexts, technologies, and learning.
Caroline Haythornthwaite, University of British Columbia
Despite creating fundamentally new educational economics and greatly increasing access - teaching and learningin networks is a tricky business. These chapters illuminate the complex interactions amongst tools, pedagogy, educational institutions and personal net presences – helping us design and redesign our own networks. In the process, they take (or extract) network theory from the practice of real teaching and learning contexts, making this collection an important contribution to Networked Learning.
Terry Anderson, Athabasca University
What kinds of learning can social networking platforms really enable? Digging well beneath the hype, this book provides a timely, incisive analysis of why and how learning emerges (or fails to) in networked spaces. The editors do a fine job in guiding the reader through the rich array of theories and methods for tackling this question, and the diverse contexts in which networked learning is now being studied. This is a book for reflective practitioners as well as academics: the book's close attention to the political, pedagogical andorganisational complexity of effective practice, and the lived experience of educators and learners, helps explain why networked learning has such disruptive potential — but equally, why it draws resistance from the establishment.
Simon Buckingham Shum, The Open University
The networked learning conference, a biannual institution since 1998, celebrates its 14th year in this volume. Here a range of studies, reflecting networked learning experiments across Europe and other global contexts , show important shifts away from a conservative tradition of Œe-learning¹ research and unpeel dilemmas of promoting learning as an elusive practice in virtual environments. The authors point towards important futures in online learning research, where notions of knowledge, connectivity and Œcommunity¹ become increasingly elastic, and engagements slide across material and virtual domains in new practices whose emergence is increasingly difficult to apprehend.

The chapters in this volume explore new and innovative ways of thinking about the nature of networked learning and its pedagogical values and beliefs. They pose a challenge to us to reflect on what we thought networked learning was 15 year ago, where it is today and where it is likely to be headed.
Each chapter brings a particular perspective to the themes of design, experience and practice of networked learning, the chosen focus of the book. The chapters in the book embrace a wide field of educational areas including those of higher education, informal learning, work-based learning, continuing professional development, academic staff development, and management learning.
The Design, Experience and Practice of Networked Learning will prove indispensable reading for researchers, teachers, consultants, and instructional designers in higher and continuing education; for those involved in staff and educational development, and for those studying post graduate qualifications in learning and teaching.
This, the second volume in the Springer Book Series on Researching Networked Learning, is based on a selection of papers presented at the 2012 Networked Learning Conference held in Maastricht, The Netherlands.

Recenzii

“This is an invaluable overview of research in thefield of networked learning. It’s a very accessible introduction to the mix oftheory, pedagogy and experimental practice that characterises this field. Irecommend it highly to all researchers interested in contemporary developmentsin educational technology, collaborative learning, and the entanglement ofdigital tools and resources in human activity.” (Peter Goodyear, Technology,Knowledge and Learning, Vol. 20, 2015)

Notă biografică

Vivien Hodgson is Professor of Networked Management Learning in the Department of Management Learning and Leadership at Lancaster University Management School, UK and visiting Chair at E-Learning Lab, Aalborg University, Denmark. Vivien has coordinated and participated in many ‘e-learning’ research projects in both Europe and Latin America. She has written extensively in international journals on open and collaborative approaches to learning and the importance of dialogue and critical reflection in the design and process of networked learning.
She is the co-editor of the new Springer book series on networked learning and recently stood down as one of the founding co-chair of the international bi-annual conference series ‘Networked Learning’ She is on the editorial board of several journals and on the Steering Committee of SOLAR (Society for Learning Analytics Research). From 1995 and 1998 she was seconded to the Socrates programme of the European Commission in Brusselswhere she was responsible for the Open and Distance Learning (Minerva) Action
