Connectivism
The capacity to form connections between sources of information, and thereby create useful information patterns, is required to learn in our knowledge economy.”
George Siemens (2005) cited by Stephen Downes (2006).

Connectivism
Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions
Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources
Learning may reside in non-human appliances
Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known

Cont’d…
Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning.
Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill.
Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities.

Cont’d….
8. Decision-making is in itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.
