“…It is a systems-orientated framework that focuses on the interactions between technology, instructional method and the psychological learning processes of students. Additionally, there has been at the same time an increasing amount of UK-based networked learning research that seeks to examine organizational processes and structures needed to support TML (Foster et al, 2002;Banks and Powell, 2002;Beaty et al, 2002). A concern with the framework that Alavi and Leidner propose is that it seems to focus more on content and the structure of the content in order to transmit it effectively than it does on interaction and dialogue, which appear not to be in the foreground of their thinking.…”

After a review of the dominant approaches that have been used to research networked learning, the article focuses on research that has been reported in the management education and learning literature over the period 1999–2002. The authors argue that, to date, despite the rising importance of networked management learning, it is a topic that has not received sufficient attention in the management education research literature. In addition, the methods and approaches used to research networked learning in the management education and learning field have arguably not been consistent with the educational principles and ideas supposedly associated with networked learning. The article concludes by suggesting possible fruitful agendas and approaches for future research and studies of networked management learning.

“…Interviewees were questioned on a range of issues applicable to networked collaborative learning, from initial understandings of the term and the current situation within the university, to an assessment of the factors impinging on the future development of networked collaborative learning within the university and consideration of what it might mean for university to learn, as an organization, about networked collaborative learning. The results of this strand of inquiry point to implications relating to organizational design for learning and implications for information professionals [68][69][70].…”

This paper discusses educational informatics as a research field and provides an overview of the scope of work in this, and closely related, areas by members of the Department of Information Studies at the University of Sheffield. Current work in Sheffield focuses on the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in universities and schools, seeking to understand the effects of using ICTs in educational practice on learners, teachers and learning support staff. It also seeks to develop practical knowledge of relevance to the design and facilitation of ICT-enabled learning environments. The paper highlights the interdisciplinary nature of this research, and discusses theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches that are being used by Sheffield researchers. It concludes by suggesting that library and information science has a distinctive contribution to make to the study of ICTenabled learning, and that there is a need for further discussion within the literature of this emergent field of inquiry.

Purpose-Interorganizational innovation networks are providing opportunities to exploit superior resources that reside beyond the boundary of the firm. The shifting locus of innovation and value creation away from the 'sole firm as innovator' poses important questions about the nature of resources that exist in the spaces between firms, and the capabilities needed to leverage them for competitive advantage. The purpose of this research is to produce design-oriented knowledge, for configuring interorganizational networks as a means of accessing such resources for innovation. Methodology / Approach-This exploratory investigation conflates emerging constructs and themes analytically induced from a systematic survey of 142 scholarly and practitioner articles and 45 expert interviews with senior professionals operating in the biopharmaceuticals industry. Findings and Practical Implications-The findings identify 7 theoretically and empirically grounded technological rules associated with effective interorganizational networking for innovation. They embody evidence ex post of networking theory and practice. Based on van Aken's seminal work, they comprise vital design-oriented knowledge to provide a solution architecture of viable action options for managers, a priori, to purposefully design innovation networks. Collectively these rules represent a tentative taxonomy, a means of classifying design principles, to assist managers in navigating their decision making processes. Originality/value of paper-This study demonstrates the need for explicit design-oriented knowledge for configuring interorganizational networks. Finally, the implications of the findings for strategic management theory are discussed from a Dynamic Capabilities view. The significance of a dynamic capability which addresses the renewal of network-specific resources is highlighted.
