EnviRN

The ANHE Knowledge Network is an online learning environment for nurses and other health professionals concerned about environmental health issues Whether they have a mission to accomplish, are looking for professional development or seeking other like minded professionals for collaboration or help, the Knowledge Network is available for them online anywhere and anytime.

There is no substitute for collaborative teaching and learning; to achieve this, the Knowledge network utilizes social networking tools. These allow users to create profiles that highlight areas of specific needs, interest or expertise. Through these profiles they are able to search for, connect and
collaborate with others of like mind, who may be either teacher or learner. However, normally
people tend to use social networking systems for personal and social reasons, not
necessarily to establish learning relationships. The Knowledge Network is structured to facilitate the creation of intentional learning communities - places where intentional learning relationships are forged.

In the Knowledge Network, everybody is both a learner and a teacher; everybody can learn from somebody and also teach others. The entire membership makes up 'the greater learning network,' a common collegiate community where knowledge and experience is shared.
