NetLC 2014 - 9th Networked Learning conference 2014

The conference is an opportunity to participate in a forum for the critical examination and analysis of research in networked learning ie learning and teaching carried out largely via the Internet/Web which emphasises dialogical learning, collaborative and cooperative learning, group work, interaction with on-line materials, knowledge production and design for learning. The focus of the conference is network learning in formal or informal settings in higher education and lifelong learning.
Papers critically reporting on the results of research and evaluation in Networked Learning are invited on the main themes of:
Theory: perspectives and paradigms (e.g. sociomaterialism, networked individualism)
Methods: research design, data and analysis (e.g. learning analytics, big data, phenomenography, ANT and post-ANT)
Debates: critical ideas and emerging issues (e.g. sustainability, open and public, democracy, occupy, posthumanism, digital scholarship)
Design: architectures, spaces, mobilities and pedagogies (e.g. MOOCs, communities and networks of practice)
Conference papers are peer reviewed by international researchers, and published in electronic proceedings and online.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to contribute to the edited book series on networked learning published by Springer, New York.
