This paper looks at the learning environment in that context and questions where networked learning principles could contribute to the strategic goal of student-directed learning. The paper explores central notions in networked learning as strengths and weaknesses, and redefines student-directed learning for the context of AUT.Copyright (c) 2022 Annemie Winters, Nawal Chanane, Sally Eberhard, Benjamin Kehrwald, Nhung Nguyen, Kwong Nui Sim.
