To contain the COVID-19 pandemic schools have been closed in many countries. Children stayed at home and were assisted by their parents with their schoolwork. Evidently, homeschooling puts extra demands on parents. We presumed that parents' sense of efficacy in teaching would play a key role in how they cope with this extra task of homeschooling. I...

Voor een deel van de leerlingen ontstond hiermee risico op onderwijsachterstanden (risicoleerlin-gen). Om het onderwijs te waarborgen, juist ook voor risicoleerlingen, moesten scholen veerkrachtig reageren bij het realiseren of...

In onze snel uitdijende hybride wereld komt er elke dag een enorme informatiestroom op ons af, vaak gestuurd en gefilterd door sociale media. Ondanks de stortvloed aan informatie en leermogelijkheden is er geen garantie dat er leerprocessen zullen plaatsvinden of dat er nuttige kennis wordt verkregen. Sociale media zijn veeleer een sociale jungle w...

In this article we want to understand in more detail how learning networks emerge in online networked learning environments. An adage in Networked Learning theory is that networked learning cannot be designed; it can only be designed for. This adage implicitly carries the idea that networked learning is seen as learning in which information and com...

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the extent professionals from the vocational sector are networked individuals. The authors explore how professionals use their personal networks to engage in a wide variety of learning activities and examine what social mechanisms influence professionals’ agency to form personal informal learning networks. De...

In this chapter we look at Networked Learning in the context of the continuous professional development (CDP) of teachers. CDP in the workplace is difficult to analyse and evaluate because it is often invisible to others and even the learners themselves may not be aware of the learning that occurs. The knowledge acquired can be tacit and the learni...

By investigating how educational practitioners participate in activities around open educational practices (OEP), this paper aims at contributing to an understanding of open practices and how these practitioners learn to use OEP. Our research is guided by the following hypothesis: Different social configurations support a variety of social learning...

Professionals often initiate informal learning in an effort to solve work-related problems. This paper focuses mainly on research methods for visualizing informal networked learning for teachers. Drawing upon Social Network Theory and Analysis and such notions as Social Capital, Networked Learning, and Communities of Practice we create a theoretica...

This report (POERUP Deliverable 3.3) is a case study of BCcampus from the point of view of OER use and production. This information was primarily compiled from information available on the BCcampus Website: http://www.bccampus.ca and a short case-study template exercise conducted by Prof. McGreal. BCcampus is a publicly funded organization that...

This report (POERUP Deliverable 3.2) makes many recommendations grouped under three headings: 1. Organisational models of (Inter)national open educational practices 2. Support 3. Quality and time Only the first set of recommendations are listed in this abstract. R.1. Open Educational Practices need (OEP) different social configurations to serve d...

Examining how OER (Open Educational Resources) communities come to live, function or learn can support in empowering educators in the use of open educational resources. In this paper we investigate how an OER community functions through its networked learning activities. Networked learning activities enable the development of a space (a social conf...

The network awareness tool (NAT) is a Web 2.0 based tool that enables professionals to become aware of existing networked learning relationships (within or between organizations), that can help them with real, urgent, work-related problems that are part of their daily practice. In most cases such problems arise unplanned, ad hoc and are usually dea...

Informal learning has become an important driver for professional development and workplace learning. Yet, however powerful informal learning may be, there is a problem when it comes to making it a real asset within organizations: Informal learning activities are spontaneous and mostly invisible to others. The aim of this study is to develop a meth...

Social Learning Analytics (SLA) are designed to support students learning through social networks, and reflective practitioners engage in informal learning through a community of practice. This short paper reports work in progress to develop SLA motivated specifically by Networked Learning Theory, drawing on the related concepts and tools of Social...

This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of informal workplace learning in contemporary face-to-face and virtual environments. Informal learning is an important driver for professional development and workplace learning. However powerful informal learning may be, there is a problem when it comes to making it a real asset within organizati...

Networked learning is an important driver for informal professional development and workplace learning based on social relationships. However powerful networked learning may be, there is a problem when it comes to making it a real asset within organizations. This may seem as a paradox, but networked learning activities are mostly invisible to other...

Throughout the last decade (2009), numerous initiatives have been set up to experiment with the establishment of ICT-enhanced activities, under various frameworks and to varying degrees of success. The higher education area is a very complex world with a diverse list of providers; these include traditional universities, distance education providers...

Summary The paper presents the research approach and activities of the Re.ViCa project which aims to make an inventory and to carry out a systematic review of institution-wide and cross- institutional Virtual Campus initiatives of the past decade within higher education at European, national and regional levels. To facilitate cooperation between pa...

The paper describes the concepts of Virtual Campus and Virtual Mobility and refers to several past and present projects and initiatives in the field. Through these previous experiences, a shift of concepts is noticed: from the fully online Virtual Campus to Virtual Mobility, whereby the more traditional universities open their borders and “blended...

As of 2005, the majority of European countries and regions support the Bologna goals in the reform of their higher education institutions. Mobility is considered to be a key factor in the Bologna process and therefore higher education institutions collaborate to realize student mobility all over Europe. At the moment, the potential of distance educ...

In recent years, the e-learning community has witnessed a steady increase in innovative web-based technologies and platforms that have immense educational potential, such as weblogs, wiki’s, audio/video streaming and podcasting. The phrase “Web 2.0” has become a buzz-word and every self-respecting higher education institution has to take position...
