Call for Papers: Networked Learning Conference 2012

Happy to see that the call for papers for the 8th International Networked Learning Conference 2012 was just announced. I attended this conference in 2010 in Denmark, and hope to be able to attend this again from 2-4 April 2012 in Maastricht, the Netherlands. If this will be anything like the last conference, it will be a tremendous experience.

While I do not usually promote conferences before I have anything accepted for them, I am doing so here because this is such a wonderful conference that I think may benefit more than that specific group that tends to already know about it. I think it needs a wider audience (i.e., from the US, Canada, and Australia), and hope this little post can help that along.

Did I mention that two scholars whose work has greatly influenced my own research will be speaking — Etienne Wenger and Tara Fenwick!

I love the many photos linked to the #rapturebomb hash. Quite clever. #
That movie I saw last night, The Social Network, has really been bothering me today. Perhaps that nagging is the mark of a good film? #

Watching The Social Network; can't say I like it so far. #
Thought this morning's class went well. Have not taught a 3 hour F2F class since January, and forgot all the energy it takes! #
Off to teach the first on-campus class of the one course I am teaching this year — Teaching and Learning in Advanced Practice Nursing. #
