The Networked Learning Environment: an Overview Stepping 

Beyond Courses to a More Expansive Online Learning Experience

Matthew Pittinsky

(Blackboard lnc,U.S.A)

Abstract: Today’s e-learning challenge is considerably greater than just bringing courses online, one with a payoff that will revolutionize education in ways that online classes only begin to suggest. That challenge is to break through coursebased limitations in order to create true Networked Learning Environments.

A Networked Learning Environment in the Internetage applies new technology to a very old concept—that learning is much more than classes and grades. It is about the learning that takes place in a vibrant community of people and resources. The Internet has removed the limits of time and proximity that once restricted this community. In a true Networked Learning Environment, any student, instructor or researcher can access any learning resource at anytime from anyplace.
