Networked learning can't be assessed the same way as traditional, formal learning (or if it can, we wouldn't measure the real value that way). So what do you measure? This is a starting point.

Great summary of research points on our perceptions of media with implications for using media effectively for learning. For example, audio quality matters a lot, but video quality can be low and still effective. Large, wide screens are preferred over higher quality images on smaller screens.

Summary of research which compared courses with the same content but with specific elements of Gagne's instructional events removed. The strongest correlation with student performance and satisfaction was with practice with feedback.

Wendy Wickham's liveblogged notes from Clark Quinn's presentation on Deeper Instructional Design. Lots of ideas in this post--create models that actually help people understand the content and recognize patterns, pay attention to motivation and emotion, give learners the least they need to get them to do what's needed, create learner-centered objectives instead of designer-centered objectives, use stories and active practice.

IRRODL article on connectivism, looking at its connections to past theories and critics. The authors conclude that while education is undergoing signficant changes, connectivism isn't different enough to be a learning theory on its own. However, they say it does have an important role to play in education as learners gain more independent control.

An interesting idea for a learning strategy--we read so much online from people who are like us and agree with us that when you read something that makes you disgruntled, it may be a cue to dig deeper. Includes a good quote from Ton Zijlstra (via Harold Jarche) about information overload.
