“…Networked learning Social networks provide unique opportunities and dynamic context for exchanging knowledge and information by networking skills. Various scholars have reported the role of social networks in the learning process via several features such as access to information resources, raising learning opportunities, facilitating condition for interactive learning and sharing implicit knowledge (Van Alast, 2003); criticize yourself and other students for cooperation, asking additional responses, stating opposed arguments, motivating yourself and others, as well as encouraging yourself and others to cooperate with each other (Goodyear et al, 2004); improving learning and educational achievement, increasing selfconfidence, self-esteem, motivation, efficiency sense and identity (Jackson and Temperley, 2007); supporting the learner through dialogue, active cooperation and shared knowledge (Petropoulou et al, 2010).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate students' social networking strategies based on learning values in the social context of Iranian universities.Design/methodology/approachThis research has used the case study method to investigate students’ networked learning (NL) strategies among students of four different universities in the context of Iran. They were explored by semistructured in-depth interviews about the nature or current conditions of their study life. The data were analyzed by the qualitative analysis method based on the systematic approach of Strauss and Corbin (1998).FindingsThe researchers in this study found the special concept of NL in the social context: “NL as a continuous process of thinking to understand the environment through multiple/ diverse careers of learning knowledge and skills for environmental modeling towards creating added-value.” According to this definition, various networked strategies were identified as follows: 1) interactive and multidimensional searching, 2) multidimensional studying and learning, 3) environmental and social management, 4) studying and social wandering.Research limitations/implicationsDesigning dynamic curriculum, which integrates various careers of learning, multidimensional knowledge and abilities and subject matters with environmental events and social structures of the society. Given the exploratory nature of the research, the paper cannot provide empirically justified findings.Originality/valueThe research had identified diverse approaches of networking strategies, which do not appear just as a positive instrument to improve learning conditions. However, there is such an extreme degree of social wandering among students in universities that makes their efforts useless.

The assessment of students' performance in e-learning environments is a challenging and demanding task for the teachers. Focusing on this challenge, a new assessment tool, called Learning Analytics Enriched Rubric (LAe-R) is presented in this paper. LAe-R is based on the concept of assessment rubrics which is a very popular assessment technique in education. LAe-R contains "enriched" criteria and grading levels that are associated to data extracted from the analysis of learners' interaction and learning behavior in an e-learning environment. LAe-R has been developed as a plug-in for the Moodle learning management system. Via an example, we will show how LAe-R can be used by teachers and students.
