Networked learning is the use of Information and Communications Technology (such as the Internet) to establish and maintain connections with people and information and to communicate in such a way as to support one another's learning, hence - a networked learning. It is relating to the learning theory Connectivism.
A similar definition is provided by the Centre for Studies in Advanced Learning Technologies (CSALT) at Lancaster University who define 'networked learning' as: learning in which C&IT is used to promote connections: between one learner and other learners, between learners and tutors; between a learning community and its learning resources.
Another definition could be: Networked learning occurs when Information and Communications Technology (e.g. Internet) is used to connect a community of people who provide information and ideas to support each other's learning.
