Sustainable Networked Learning

This book provides cutting-edge research on networked learning, focusing on issues of sustainability in design for learning, data use, and networked learning connections. It contributes novel theoretical perspectives on networked learning, its role in society and potential for sustainable learning design. It further contributes a set of exemplary empirical cases - exemplary in terms of their innovative learning designs, pedagogical use of technology in connecting learners, and/or critical reflections on implications of utilizing different technologies to support learning.
