• Networking Reconsidered
  
  Social networking is becoming more important, both at the individual and institutional level. It conjures up images of classical networking and schmoozing, driven by individuals intent upon prying business cards out of others and relentlessly expanding their contact lists, manipulatively using their contacts to advance their own interests.

• Waking up to the economics of networked learning
  
    Via Stephen Downe s, Judy Breck believes, and I agree, that the economic crunch will speed the advent of network learnin g. Consider how the Open Courseware movement is giving way to the idea that, in essence, a university education could become available (including Open Accreditation ) free of charge. And crucially, we can now consider such possibilities because of the network. Getting a college education in the US is absurdly expensive, but like property, or the stock market, the education bubble too will burst - the financial institutions simply no longer have the money to fund the madness.
