Abstract
This paper highlights over a decade of research on emerging technologies and learning innovation by the National Research Council, starting in 2008 with Personal Learning Environments (PLEs), connectivist-type MOOCs (cMOOCs) and more recently, new learning ecosystems. Late breaking research on human factors involved in critical learning on an open network will highlight participants’ experiences in a recent cMOOC on distributed learning technologies - E-Learning 3.0. Human factors research is essential in identifying the types of support structures needed to create a place or community where people feel comfortable, trusted, and valued, as part of critical learning on an open network. Gaps and limitations in current research and development efforts in the area of new learning ecosystems are addressed as well as future areas of research worth exploring.
