• “Make use of each others expertise”
• Networked interactions allow professionals to share their own practice rather than being passive recipients of expert knowledge. (Boud & Hager, 2012)
• The participation perspective takes learning out of the individual mind and formal educational settings and places it in everyday organizational life and work. (Pahor, Skerlavaj & Dimovski, 2008)
Professional development
• Non-formal learning is important but its importance is insufficiently appreciated. (Knight, 2002)
• ….. And because it is easier to measure, professional development has often become synonymous with participation in formal courses or seminars. (Boud & Hager 2012)
Problems 1/2
• ‘Problem’ of informal learning
• Ad hoc
• Spontaneous

• Invisible
• People rely on their networks for information to get their daily work done

2. Value
3. Reward
Networked Learning
Visualise
Network Awareness Tool
• can visualise teacher-teacher and teacher-theme relations
• can map the informal reality
• is a supporting instrument
• is a reflection instrument
• is a social browser (Yellow Pages)
Network Awareness Tool (NiB / NAT)
• is not an Intranet
• is not another Facebook
• is not a standalone tool
Network Awareness Tool (NiB / NAT)
• Awareness
• Peer support
• Realise that we do not have to rely on a single expert
• Join networks to build knowledge together
• Realise how valuable conversations with my peers are and what benefits they have
Added value for professionals
• See what really ‘drives’ the organisation
• Detect core themes/interests
• See learning networks and communities
• See how and with whom teachers cooperate
• Utilize existing informal learning networks
• Support informal relations
Added value for management
(Buchel & Raub, 2002)
