A Personal Learning Network (PLN) is an informal learning network that consists of the people a learner interacts with and derives knowledge from in a personal learning environment. In a PLN, a person makes a connection with another person with the specific intent that some type of learning will occur because of that connection.
In the later half of the 1990s, open, interactive, situated and networked views of learning were marginalised by educational institutions as they tended to develop or deploy content and practice through proprietary learning management systems (e.g. Blackboard Inc, WebCT), and collaborative work tools such as IBM Lotus Notes/Learning Space and ...
A social learning network (SLN) is a type of social network that results from interaction between learners, teachers, and modules of learning. [1] The modules and actors who form the SLN are defined by the specific social learning process taking place. [2] The set of learners and the set of teachers in an SLN cannot be disjoint.
Proponents argue that classroom learning activities must build upon students' prior knowledge and teachers need to allocate time for practice. Advocates argue that teachers must continuously assess student learning against clearly defined standards and goals, and student input into the assessment process is integral. [9] [10] [11]
Teachers may promote the idea of team learning to students in their classrooms, but teachers may not practice team learning in their professional lives; PLCs aim to help teachers practice the team learning that they preach. Senge suggests that when teams learn together there are beneficial results for the organization. [23]
LaaN starts from the learner and views learning as the continuous creation of a personal knowledge network (PKN). [19] Schwebel of Torrens University notes that Connectivism provides a limited account of how learning occurs online. Conceding that learning occurs across networks, he introduces a paradox of change.
A learning community is a group of people who share common academic goals and attitudes and meet semi-regularly to collaborate on classwork. Such communities have become the template for a cohort-based, interdisciplinary approach to higher education.
The Learning Teacher Network is an association of individuals, organisations and educational institutions in education and training. The network is formally composed of members with either individual or institutional membership but organises also a wider circle of individuals who link up, give active support or participate in network activities.
