Review of Michael Johnson, Felicity Healey-Benson, Catherine Adams, and Nina Bonderup Dohn (Eds.). (2024). Phenomenology in Action for Researching Networked Learning

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Networked learning (NL) is conceived as ‘processes of collaborative, co-operative and collective inquiry, knowledge-creation and knowledgeable action, underpinned by trusting relationships, motivated by a sense of shared challenge and enabled by convivial technologies’ (Networked Learning Editorial Collective 2021 : 319). Connections for learning are promoted ‘between people, between sites of learning and action, between ideas, resources, and solutions, across time, space and media’ (Networked Learning Editorial Collective 2021 : 319). Published in 2021, this conceptualisation expands the long-established definition of NL as connecting ‘teachers and students, students and students, and learning communities to their resources’ (Goodyear et al. 2004 ; see also Jones and Steeples 2002 ; McConnell et al. 2012 ). The revised definition recognises learning connections that happen beyond formal learning settings. It captures the ethos of NL that prioritises democratic values, inclusivity, diversity (Ryberg et al. 2012 ), educational openness, and social justice (McConnell et al. 2012 ), spread across time, space, and media, in dialogic connections (Jones 2004 ; Jones et al. 2008 ).
