• Learning is primarily a network-forming process
• Learning happens as a part of diverse, social network, which is augmented by the modern digital technology

1. Deep learning
takes root in our apparatus of understanding, in the embedded meanings that define us and that we use to define the world.”

Deep learning
is based on the knowledge capital of the learner
Knowledge capital
