Participation
The second element of the 3P learning model is participation. Participation has been the cornerstone of most of the
socio-cultural theories of learning in CSCL. However, most social learning theories put the emphasis on overarching
structures where learning is supposed to take place. These include groups and communities. In this paper, we rather
view participation from a learner's point of view and discuss the Learning as a Network (LaaN) perspective, which
puts the learner at the center, and represents a knowledge ecological approach to learning.
