Psychological Foundations for Networked Learning

  • Chapter
Book cover Networked Learning: Perspectives and Issues

Part of the book series: Computer Supported Cooperative Work ((CSCW))

Abstract

This chapter is intended to provide an account of the psychology of networked learning for the practical purpose of informing educational design decisions in this rapidly changing area. Because of the relative rapidity of change in the technological platforms being used, the account is necessarily at a somewhat abstract level. It is meant to underpin the formation of some practical pedagogical knowledge that can outlast some of the more detailed operational changes in networked learning environments.
