Symposium
Contribution
The emergence of the web as an dynamic, user-centred platform for interaction and congregation of social capital is reportedly creating impact at different levels of our society. It is changing some of the fundamental aspects of how people connect, interact, share information and work. In an knowledge economy increasingly dependent on digital technologies, there is a desire to optimize practice with the support of participatory media. Networked and communal learning are concepts associated with the use of learning technologies, and the creation and exchanging of knowledge. Networking, however, is not a new concept nor a new practice. Networks are probably as old as humankind has shown interest to learn with others. Erasmus was one of the most networked scholars of his time, making use of the epistolary genre. In the classic age, Voltaire followed a similar path. Darwin is probably the scholar with the largest analog network ever. Yet, such ‘networking fashion’ was never taken on completely. Even today, in the networked society, contrasting approaches to knowledge creation and practice co-exist. This paper will explore the epistemological and contextual differences regarding approaches and practices of researchers with the use of web technologies.
