Design, Experience and Practice of Networked Learning

The chapters in this book are based on research papers delivered at the 8th biennial Networked Learning Conference (NLC) 2012. Twelve papers from the conference were chosen as exemplars of cutting edge research on networked learning. The selected papers expand the scope of what has been identified as and written about NL to encompass more clearly social connectivity and social networking in learning, delivering a book with less of a technology perspective. §The papers in the book are presented by researchers and research practitioners from across the globe. Major foci of the papers are linked to some of the other the major themes of the NLC 2012 conference, such as: Theories and Methodologies for Research in Networked Learning; Practice-Based Research Learning in Social Networks and Networked Learning; Impact on Learning of Networked Technologies; Embedding Networked Learning in Public and Private Settings; Work- Based Networked Learning and Professional Development; Problem-Based Networked Learning; Networked Learning for Sustainability; Globalisation and Interculturality in Networked Learning; Participation and alienation in Networked Learning. §
