//Theoretical grounding for the New Learning Ecology//

John Seeley Brown (1999) introduced a knowledge ecology by using the definition of "an open system, dynamic and interdependent, diverse, partially self-organizing, and adaptive" (p. 3.)

Barron (2006) defined a learning ecology as the "set of contexts found in physical or virtual spaces that provide opportunities for learning," which may include formal, informal and non-formal settings (p. 195).

[|Spires, Wiebe, Young, Hollabrands, & Lee (2009)] defined a new learning ecology as an emergent concept that is being prompted by 1:1 learning environments.

Greenhow, Robelia, & Hughes (2009) reference a learning ecology perspective as useful in conceptualizing learning & teaching across Web 2.0 spaces of home, school, work, and community.
