Feral Learning in hard copy

One of the really exciting things that's happened in the hiatus since I stopped blogging has been the publication of Learners in a Changing Learning Landscape in Springer's Lifelong Learning series. Check out Chapter 6, Getting to know the Feral Learner.

Writing this chapter for publication was a great learning experience, and helped me to crystallise my thinking about feral learning.  It also demonstrated how much I still have to learn about preparing material for publication. I was very lucky to have Jan Visser's help & support.

The book is an interesting collection of perspectives on the 21st century learning environment and has just received this year's James W Brown Publication Award of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT). We share the award with the authors of another important book that came out last year: Richey, R., & Klein, J. (2007). Design and development research. New York: Routledge.
