Topic 3 Learning in Communities

Posted on by Susanna Fabricius

According to Davis White (20229 Visitors and Residents continuum Networked Learning is at the residents end of the continuum. This makes me reflect where I […]

Collaboration – means or end? 

Posted on by Johan Högman

Today, collaboration has become something of a buzzword and used almost dogmatic in many professional sectors. All problems should be solved through collaboration.

Posted on by Shelley Guyton

This has been a fascinating topic.
