Jones, C. R.; Ferreday, D.; Hodgson, V. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
In this paper, we explore the idea of weak ties in networked learning. We go back to the original conception of the strength of weak ties and relate this to Bakhtin and a dialogic understanding of networked learning. These theoretical ideas are applied to the examination of two networked settings in which educational leaders exchange ideas and…

Enriquez, J. G. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
This article explores the social network of learning beyond a functional understanding of social relations. It describes and interprets the realities of networked learning within a particular postgraduate course in an English university setting. It draws attention to some of the limitations of the increasing interest in the use of social network…

Huk, T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
Empirical studies that focus on the impact of three-dimensional (3D) visualizations on learning are to date rare and inconsistent. According to the ability-as-enhancer hypothesis, high spatial ability learners should benefit particularly as they have enough cognitive capacity left for mental model construction. In contrast, the…

Lewis, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1997
Research into computer-supported collaborative working (CSCW) and computer-supported cooperative learning (CSCL) traditionally emphasize their differences, but each research domain can offer insights into the other. This article draws on both research areas to create a framework based on activity theory for applying communication technology to…

Goodyear, P.; Steeples, C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1992
Discussion of the Just-in-Time Open Learning (JITOL) project supported by the European Commission in its DELTA Programme considers attributes of open learning and the main tasks of learners and tutors. Information technology-based tools for open learning are described and related to these tasks, and planned JITOL user trials are summarized. (17…
