International Conference on social E-xperiences 2012

This book is a compilation of the works presented on Network 1 of the BCN Meeting 2012 International Congress: Communication and Learning in the Digital Age, held in Barcelona in July 2012. The Network opened an space for researchers, teachers, professionals and doctorate students from many countries around the world to discuss contemporary social experiences connected to the use of communication and information technologies, especially those referring to new ways and strategies of generating and sharing knowledge. During the conference we were all challenged to think more creatively about ways to understand, explore and study the processes of social change that come with digitalisation, the emergence of social media and the so-called web 2.0. The works that make up this online publication contribute to enriching our understanding of such relevant questions as What are the relationships between communication and learning? Can audiovisual technologies promote creativity in education? Are participatory culture and virtual communities generating new ways of creating and exchanging knowledge? What opportunities open up at the intersection between games and e-learning? and other questions.
