connections" (Goodyear, et al. 2004)
![Page 8: Yap robben networked learning may 2010 v4](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110121/55878567d8b42aa47d8b46f4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Networked learning
• Knowledge = Social• New possibilities for Social Web Technologies• Learning can take place in Networked
Environments• Communities of Practice
"People are increasingly sharing, discussing and negotiating knowledge through computer networks, therefore stressing the social nature of learning"
(de Laat, 2006)

Social capital
Connections among individuals - social
networks and the norms of reciprocity and trust that arise from them.
(Putnam, 2000)

Why invest in social technologies?
• Need for organizations to be knowledge productive (Kessels, 2000)
The competitive advantage of organizations does not come from
knowledge itself but from the ability to make knowledge productive
(Stam, 2007)
