A new point of view
Professional Network E-learning

• THE CONSTRUCTION AND SPREAD OF A NEW CULTURE
  SUPPORTING ONLINE LEARNING
• Strategic convergence of organizational learning
  principles with tools and technologies that can
  support them
• Changes in the nature of e-learning
• Switch in the dimensions of learning in
  continuity (learning euristic processes)
• Promoting Connective Networks ( Downes, 2007) in
  professional environment

How is a Professional Network possible inside 2.0
E-learning ?
Professional Network E-learning

• Knowledge nature specific, explicit
  tacit, latent, in progress, complex and emergent
• Knowledge quality groups are more than
  individuals the process circularity evolves into
  a spiral the sum is positive
• Knowledge instrument cooperation beetwen mental
  and physical tools

Rosember 2005

• Knowledge centric approach

Downes 2005

• The network is diverse and changing, like an
  ecosystem

Aim

• Our goal is to improve the functionality of
  online platforms

Professional Network E-learning

• The problem-person-community circularity and
  tools work in synergy in the learning process
  they allow
• Knowledge de-construction and re-building through
  each tool contribution to multiple intelligences
• Integrated reading of problems and solutions
  thourgh intelligence/wits mediation
• Development of new solutions by activating
  eursitc paths
• Sharing in environment all for exchange,
  sustainment and development
• Common and interchangeable leadership
