Connective knowledge is knowledge that could be described as distributed , because it is spread across more than one entity. A property of one entity must lead to or become a property of another entity in order for them to be considered connected; the knowledge that results from such connections is connective knowledge .

Learning is a network forming process Capacity to know more is more critical than what is known Learning rests in aggregating diverse, often opposing, views Content is often the by-product of the learning process – not the starting point Connections, not content, are the beginning point of the learning process

Learning is a network forming process

Capacity to know more is more critical than what is known

Learning rests in aggregating diverse, often opposing, views

Content is often the by-product of the learning process – not the starting point

Connections, not content, are the beginning point of the learning process
