Abstract
This paper introduces an innovative model for developing and sustaining networked environments for geographically dispersed learners. The model is based on a post-disciplinary approach to knowledge and educational design that sees any field of study in terms of the people who work in the area and who are seen to be members of its knowledge community. Drawing on these ideas, the networked environment is built as a collection of hyperlinks of representations of the field by recognised members of the knowledge community. A key feature of the model is the support of asynchronous reflective discussion among participants enabled through online learning sets. The paper concludes by identifying the areas which apparently hinder the environment from becoming fully integrated within the overall design of the programme.
