Methodological considerations for research on networked learning

In one of the earliest collective writings on networked learning, Goodyear et al (2004) introduces networked learning as an area of both practical and theoretical importance which is said to offer a site for advancing research in the learning sciences. This has indeed proved to be an introduction that has come to be a fact. Over the years the collective writings in the area has increased substantially, and today the Research in Networked Learning series of Springer is a key publication in the area.
