Some of you interested in the intersection between Internet Research and Networked Learning may find this interesting. The Hot Seats, an informal and free series of online discussions by international researchers in the area of networked learning, are about to begin on Monday, October 10 http://networkedlearningconference.ning.com/forum. This is a lead-in to the 8th International Conference on Networked Learning, scheduled for Maastricht in April 2012. Participation in these online discussions, based around the research of a number of very interesting scholars and led by the authors themselves, is open to anybody; conference registration is not required.
