Abstract

A growing number of researchers have come to the conclusion that we have moved from an earlier paradigm (computer-based education, CBE) to a new paradigm which will be called network-based learning (NBL) in this article. So far, however, too little attention has been paid to the methodological aspects needed for creating NBL environments. This article aims to analyze these developments by linking them closely to new emerging electronic learning environments and to methodology. As a concrete example we will analyze the use of one integrated distributed learning environment (IDLE) tool called "Future Learning Environ-ments" (FLE). Our focus is on academically oriented university students in a teacher education program at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
