Invitation
The opportunity offered by digital media and social networking leads to the development of new organic learning environments. A major challenge is how to turn these environments into instrumental knowledge?
- Where do new media take us as educators?
- What is for teachers and learners the value of being active in new media?
- What is the validity of knowledge in Web 2.0 - how can we measure recognition and achievement?
- How do media portray the changing open and distance learning practice?
- How can we control the potential of media to ensure that they work for all?
