This paper reports on a review of learning opportunities that are
emerging in online networks and communities. Participation in these new
virtual spaces is not mandatory, but rather motivated by an interest to know,
share, create, connect and find support, and these activities lead to a range of
learning outcomes. New technologies offer the tools and means for people to
participate in online networks and communities in a personally meaningful
way. However, not all individuals are necessarily equipped with the skills or
knowledge to benefit from these opportunities for their lifelong learning. It is
suggested that educational institutions should find ways to connect with and get
inspiration from these new learning approaches and settings in order to bring
about their own transformation for the 21st century, and also to support
competence-building for new jobs and personal development with a learner centred
and lifelong perspective.
