Not quite the book I thought it would be. I was expecting to read more about Networked Learning itself, but instead I think I read around networked learning: in what environment networked learning exists, and how to think about it. For example reading about learning theories (and which ones may or may not apply to networked learning); reading about agency, affordances, network theories, actor-network theory, infrastructure, and so on. I think if these topics are new to you, then this book will most likely be quite informative. If you are looking for more on networked learning more directly, perhaps another book on Networked Learning is better.
