Frameworks aid development through grid systems and prototyping, while testing tools help ensure responsive designs work well on varied screen sizes.
The document discusses how our conceptual view of knowledge is shifting from a static to a more dynamic, multi-faceted view. It presents connective knowledge networks as being diverse, autonomous, interactive and open. The future of learning is written in the future of knowledge. Learning is described as diverse, ongoing, co-created, integrated and the process of creating networks. Connectivism posits that decisions are made on rapidly altering foundations and that as intelligent networks, our minds continually reshape to reflect new information. A learning ecology includes both formal and informal types of learning. The document advocates for learning and knowledge to be open, governed by representatives, and conducive to knowledge flow without barriers.
