This case study paper is concerned with the development of professional practice in networked learning environments. Through the presentation of one case (a) an assessment process in a networked learning environment which involves the learner, their peers and a tutor in making judgments about the learner's formal coursework; and (b) the role of the tutor/ teacher in these processes are examined. From an analysis of the case it is suggested that assessment should be a learning event and that networked learning course participants should be involved in making judgments about their own and their peers’ learning. The benefits to learners and tutors of these collaborative learning processes are examined and discussed.
