This handbook discusses emerging technologies and their impact on education. It notes that information is increasingly being created, shared, and disseminated by individuals, allowing for new systemic structures in organizations. Learning is described as a social, situated, reflective, and multi-faceted process that can be self-paced, guided, or cohort-based. Technologies are changing how knowledge and cognition are connected across networks of people, with learning being the process of growing and navigating those networks. The handbook also discusses new models for educators like ateliers and network administrators and stresses evaluating technologies for their suitability and alignment with principles of learning.
