NINTER - Networked Interaction: Theory-Based Cases in Teaching and Learning

This article describes the pedagogical framework of an interdisciplinary and international project entitled NINTER (Networked Interaction: Theory-Based Cases in Teaching and Learning). The practical aim of the project is to produce a pedagogical model for learning and teaching in networked environments. The research project has its foundation on socio-constructivist learning theories, with one of the most important principles being the idea of apprenticeship in thinking. The article also takes a look at the first results obtained from different kinds of videotaped and written material that were collected during a WWW-based university course. Also questions raised from the data for future research are considered.
