At Aalborg University we’re very proud to host the 7th international conference on Networked Learning 3rd & 4th May, 2010.
The Networked Learning Conference is an international, research-based conference. Since its inception in 1998 the conference has developed a strong following by international researchers. In addition it is well supported by practitioners, managers and learning technologists interested in contributing to and hearing about research in this area. The conference is considered a major event in the international ‘technology enhanced learning’ conference circuit. Conference papers are peer reviewed by international researchers in the field, and published in proceedings and online.
The conference is an opportunity to participate in a forum for the critical examination and analysis of research in networked learning i.e. learning and teaching carried out largely via the Internet/Web which emphasizes dialogical learning, collaborative and cooperative learning, group work, interaction with on-line materials, and knowledge production.
Papers critically reporting on the results of research and evaluation in Networked Learning are invited on the main themes of:
- Understanding, Designing and Facilitating Learning in a Networked World
- Theories and Methodologies for Research in Networked Learning
- Impact on Learning of Networked Technologies
- Learning in Social Networks and Networked Learning
- Participation and Alienation in Networked Learning
- Embedding Networked Learning in Public and Private Organizations
- Formal and Informal learning in Networked Learning
- Work Based Networked Learning and Knowledge Management
- Problem Based Networked Learning
- Practice Based Research for Professional Development
- Issues of Social Justice and Social Responsibility in Networked Learning
- Globalization and Interculturality in Networked Learning
- Networked Learning and International Development
Conference papers will be peer reviewed by international researchers, and published in electronic proceedings and online. The conference steering committee will be supporting symposium organizers in publishing selected papers in special issues of refereed journals.
Last date for submission of full papers for review: Friday 13th November, 2009
Further information about Networked Learning
You may find inspiration in the conference proceedings from previous years, and here I’ve copied a definition of networked learning from the British “Networked Learning in Higher Education” project:
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.
Questions about the conference?
Please note that I’m not personally involved in the organization of this conference – questions should be directed to NLC Committee Administrator, Alice Jesmont, Educational Research Department, County South, Lancaster University, Lancaster. LA1 4YD. UK
Symposium on Second Life in networked distance education
I would like to use this opportunity to invite 2-3 other distance educators using SL to participate in creating a suggestion for a symposium on the use of SL in networked distance education – if this has caught your interest please contact me for further elaborations in-world or on regular e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org
I’m hoping to see many Danish and International colleagues at this conference :-)
