Hi Yuanwei,

You pointed out great responses in the first question. I agree with you that PLN allows people to share their views and get inspired by others. Collaboration among professionals through shared values and norms are important. When professionals share knowledge, they can receive agreement and disagreement. They contribute to students’ learning and get improved by students’ comments. It is in accordance with what Veletsianos (2010) propose that professionals are rewarded with potentially rich opportunities for student learning, connections to individual knowledge and expertise, and tremendous insight into emerging areas of research.
