Since 1998, the biennial Networked Learning Conference has provided an opportunity to participate in a forum for the critical examination and analysis of research in networked learning – particularly in higher education and lifelong learning. Networked learning has become a broader area of inquiry over the years, bringing together research in education and organisations spanning formal and informal learning settings.
The conference has been particularly concerned with;
- critical perspectives
- theory
- pedagogical values
- analysis
- practice based research and
- designs for learning
The focus of the conference has been research and practice that address relational and interactional aspects of learning and development with an emphasis on dialogical learning, collaborative and cooperative learning and learning in social networks.
