3. Questions What relationship is there between user-generated content, user-generated contexts and learning? How can educational institutions cope with the more informal communicative approaches to digital interactions that new generations of learners possess?

4. Does the notion of ‘learner-generated cultural resources’ represent a sustainable paradigm shift for formal education in which learning is viewed in categories of context and not content? What are the issues in terms of ‘text’ production in terms of modes of representation, (re)contextualisation and conceptions of ‘literacy’? Who decides/redefines what it means to have coherence in contemporary interaction?
