Contribution
New information and communication technologies are more than just a medium for the exchange and dissemination of knowledge. In many contexts they constitute a significant knowledge space that has implications for new knowledge practices, including the practices of educational research.Collaboration, new kinds of writing and publication, new methodologies, and emergent communities of inquiry are all being shaped by the capacities of these networked spaces. These new knowledge spaces and practices, in turn, raise important questions for what counts as "knowledge" and how knowledge is tested and confirmed as acceptable, worthy, or useful by the relevant communities of inquiry (leading to what I call elsewhere "An Epistemology of Distributed Knowledge").This paper examines these new knowledge spaces and practices as they affect the field of educational research particularly. In many respects our conventional language for describing and evaluating research knowledge has not caught up with this emergent epistemology
