Collaborative Networked Learning

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

These two articles were both deleted as uncontested PRODs a couple of days ago. They have now been remade as cut-n-paste jobs, presumably with the same content as before. The PROD rationale was "no evidence of notability", which seems reasonable. The terms do get Google hits but not many. Adding "+Findley" to the search reduces Google Books and Scholar hits to almost nothing, which renders his coverage in the article suspicious of undue weight and promotion. The articles seem to advocate the ideas they cover and to overlap significantly. The author's name makes it very likely that there is a conflict of interests here.

I have been tracking this articles and their usage for the last five years and have noticed the number of hits for both articles since the stastics became available. I have noticed that when doing searches that the articles have been used by researchers in the field of learning organizations, communities of practice, collaboration as well as education.
