What is the essence ofthis novelty and what analytical frameworks does it refer to?- What relationship is becoming established between web 2.0 artifacts andusages; how is this two-way relationship transforming practices, from asociocultural point of view?- Are there any indices leading to the conclusion that social media may leadto the creation a 'new' learning paradigm (cf. Felix, Bax, Levy, Pegrum)?What is the essence of this novelty in epistemological terms?- What about the different degrees of (non-) complementarity (parallel paths,paths that come together then divide, merge?) between formal and informalspheres of learning?- How do Personal Learning Environments (PLEs), as aggregators of web 2.0resources, call into question language learning practices?- What is the role of social media in new learning times and spaces, aimed atlifelong learning?- What effect could social media have on processes of collaborative languagelearning?
