      L      i     dk      l d       t i di    it f i i
2.    Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources,
3.    Learning may reside in non‐human appliances
4.    The capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known,
5.    Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual 
      learning,
6.    The ability to see connections between fields, ideas and concepts is a core 
      skill,

      Currency (accurate, up‐to‐date knowledge) is the intent of all collectivist 
      learning activities and
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   g
      reality; why there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to 
      alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.
