Abstract
In this chapter, I examine the kinds of theories of learning that might be applicable in a network society and explore how theories of learning are changing. A society based on digital networks has clearly changed the kinds of labour that are required in the economy, and this shift in the demand for labour has an influence on the kinds of learning that are required. A starting point for this chapter is the term learning and the way digital and networked technologies intertwine with social forms in contemporary universities, corporate training and continuing professional development. Digital and networked technologies play a part in forming and reforming work, social life and higher education. It is this complex and dynamic mix of work, social life and the higher education system that we need to understand alongside the different theories of education and learning.
