Globally Networked Learning-Processes in Higher Education: Rethinking and Fusing Terminology and Theories in the Context of Digitalization and Technology
As a last part of the Weblog-Update – before starting to reflect with my recent project of my doctoral thesis/phd – I will make my M.A. Thesis public
As I would be happy to receive feedback and to use this process as a basis for my doctoral thesis/phd which will enlarge the M.A.’s theme and questions, I will not publish “the whole cake” in one piece 🙂 but the different parts of it as individual posts.
So I will start with the content and with the slides of my colloquium.
