Connectivism is a learning theory developed for the digital age that emphasizes learning as a process of forming connections between ideas and information sources. The theory proposes that knowledge is distributed across networks and that learning occurs through making connections between nodes of information. According to connectivism, the ability to see connections between fields and ideas is a core skill, and learning involves decision-making as a process. In the classroom, connectivism promotes collaborative and discussion-based learning that allows students to make choices and draw on diverse perspectives to solve problems and make sense of information.
Connectivism has been developed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes based on their analysis of the limitations of traditional learning theories to explain the effect technology has had on how we live, how we communicate, and how we learn.

Online Education as an Academic DisciplineSteve McCarty
The author's 40th Slideshare is the opening presentation at the Online Teaching Japan Summer Sessions on August 24, 2020 at 10-11:30 (Watch for the Zoom URL or recording later). This presentation places online education in a disciplinary context, charting historical, pedagogical, institutional and cultural dimensions of e-learning. The evolution of online academic conferences will be of particular relevance to this event. Online education will be seen in a broad sense, and as a pan-disciplinary set of meta-skills beyond subject matter expertise.
Innovation, informational literacy and lifelong learning: creating a new cultureeLearning Papers
This article reflects on the impact of informational innovations and their interdependence with lifelong learning. Today, the object of knowledge and learning is increasingly based on digital information, which means we need to make serious efforts to construct a new culture of lifelong learning.

Communities of Practice and virtual learning communities: benefits, barriers ...eLearning Papers
Authors:Patricia Margaret Gannon-Leary, Elsa Fontainha.
A virtual Community of Practice (CoP) is a network of individuals who share a domain of interest about which they communicate online. The practitioners share resources (for example experiences, problems and solutions, tools, methodologies). Such communication results in the improvement of the knowledge of each participant in the community and contributes to the development of the knowledge within the domain.
The way adults pursue their education through life is changing as the technology around us
relentlessly continues to enhance our quality of life and further enhances every aspect of the
different tasks we set out to perform. This exploratory paper looks into how every adult can
embody a comprehensive set of academic services, platforms and systems to assist every
individual in the educational goals that one sets. A combination of three distinct technologies
are presented together with how they not only come together but complement each other around
a person in what is usually referred to as a personal area network. The network in this case
incorporates an intelligent personal learning environment providing personalised content,
intelligent wearables closer to the user to provide additional contextual customisation, and a
surrounding ambient intelligent environment to close a trio of technologies around every
individual. Each of the three research domains will be presented to uncover how each
contributes to the personal network that embodies what one usually expects from an educational
institution. Three distinct prototype systems have been developed, tested and deployed within a
functional system that will be presented in this paper.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. An Overview
Siemens and Downes initially received increasing attention in the blogosphere in
2005 when they discussed their ideas concerning distributed knowledge. An extended
discourse has ensued in and around the status of ‘connectivism’ as a learning theory
for the digital age. This has led to a number of questions in relation to existing
learning theories.
Do they still meet the needs of today’s learners, and anticipate the needs of learners of
the future? Would a new theory that encompasses new developments in digital
technology be more appropriate, and would it be suitable for other aspects of learning,
including in the traditional class room, in distance education and e-learning?
3. Connectivism is defined as “actionable knowledge, where an understanding of where
to find knowledge may be more important than answering how or what that
knowledge encompasses” (Duke, Harper, and Johnston, 2013, p. 7).
Siemens (2004) states, “A community is the clustering of similar areas of interest that
allows for interaction, sharing, dialoguing, and thinking together.”
According to connectivism, knowledge is distributed across an information network
and can be stored in a variety of digital formats. Learning and knowledge are said to
“rest in diversity of opinions” (Siemens, 2008, para. 8).
Learning transpires through the use of both the cognitive and the affective domains;
cognition and the emotions both contribute to the learning process in important ways.
4. What does connectivism look like in the classroom?
From a learner-centered teaching perspective, Connectivism provides opportunities for students to
make choices about their learning. Connectivism promotes group collaboration and discussion,
allowing for different viewpoints and perspectives to aid in problem-solving, decision-making, and
making sense of information.
The following is a basic lesson based on Connectivism in a higher education technology lab course.
For this example, the undergraduate students are preparing to become secondary agriculture education
teachers.
5. Principles of Connectivism
1. Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions.
2. Learning is a process of connecting information from specialists.
3. Learning may reside in non-human appliances.
4. Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known
5. Connections are needed to facilitate continual learning.
6. Ability to see connections between information is a core skill.
7. Decision-making is itself a learning process.
7. Impact on Education
Positive
- Information are readily available
- Building a network of new connections
- Students are the main focus of the learning process
Negative
- Retention of information is no longer important
- Connections lose their value over time
- Many ambiguous information available
