Theories were developed in a time when learning was not impacted through technology (Siemens 2004)

Forty years ago, the life of knowledge was measured in decades. Today, in many fields, it is measured in months and years (Siemens, 2004)

Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people, become the surrogate for knowledge I store my knowledge in my friends (Karen Stephenson)

Connectivism • Knowledge is defined as a particular pattern of relationships • Learning is defined as the creation of new connections and patterns as well as the ability to maneuver around existing networks/patterns • Siemens (2008)

Personal Learning Environment: a system that helps learners take control of and manage their own learning (Wikipedia)
