Abstract

This paper arises from the work of the JISC Committee on Awareness, Liaison and Training (CALT)-funded 'Networked Learning in Higher Education' project. Networked learning is a term that has had a currency for some years now and can be seen as part of the development of a new paradigm in education (Harasim, Hiltz, Teles and Turoff, 1995; Koschmann 1996; Romiszowski and Ravitz, 1997). We have defined networked learning as learning in which C&.IT is used to promote connections: between one learner and other learners; between learners and tutors; between a learning community and its learning resources.DOI:10.1080/0968776000080203

Summary

Introduction

This paper arises from the work of the JISC Committee on Awareness, Liaison and Training (CALT)-funded 'Networked Learning in Higher Education' project. Networked learning is a term that has had a currency for some years and can be seen as part of the development of a new paradigm in education (Harasim, Hiltz, Teles and Turoff, 1995; Koschmann 1996; Romiszowski and Ravitz, 1997). As part of the background for the main investigations into students' experiences, we are conducting a 'mapping' exercise, which locates and describes examples of the use of networked learning inUK higher education. The mapping exercise involves interviews with a wide variety of HE teaching staff toget a sense of their perspectives oncurrent and future uses of networked learning. The space of possibilities for networked learning is vast, for this reason the project has identified some priority areas on which attention should be focused:
