This document summarizes key aspects of connectivism as a learning theory for the digital age as presented by George Siemens. It discusses how connectivism views learning as connecting specialized nodes of information and how this differs from views of tools versus learning. The document also questions how connectivism could be applied in the Sudanese context and references criticism that connectivism addresses the curriculum level of what is learned rather than the instructional level of how people learn.
