Sorry, I posted text into the URL line instead of the URL. Sorry! I've been trying to edit this or delete it for the past half hour with no success. I really HATE Diigo, it is not at all user-friendly.
It is interesting how we talk about having open systems and a creative commons in the time where the Conservative gov't is pro closing off openess and thus transparency. They want to shut down the CBC and provide more police powers to gather information from people online. It appears that the ideas of connectivism and the power base are in theory, correct.
Connectivism is a theoretical framework for understanding learning. In connectivism, the starting point for learning occurs when knowledge is actuated through the process of a learner connecting to and feeding information into a learning community. Can connectivism be viewed as a new learning theory?
