    Thought this series of talks by Nicholas Carr may be of some interest to CCk11 participants. How our thinking changed as technology progressed.

Choice Learning: Connectivism Online Conference - George Siemens - 0 views

  •  
    Knowledge today is complex, ever changing, and information is overabundant. Knowledge no longer resides in a place, in a brain, in one person or a cadre of experts - it is in the connections we make, our networks of learning.

Connectivism: Why faculty don't have to be quite so concerned about Wikipedia #CCK11 - ... - 1 views

  • There are two goals supported in the connectivism learning theory, according to Downes:  The ability to grow and foster a network of connections.  The ability to develop a successful, robust, trustworthy network.
  • That makes what Siemens calls the “know-where” knowledge (“the understanding of where to find [needed] knowledge”)  much more important than “know-how” and “know-what.”
  • perhaps it is time for us to begin contributing to Wikipedia and adding links to those sources we wish our students would also visit in a quest to solve problems and expand their learning.

    As I begin a class on a learning theory referred to as Connectivism, I consider how greatly our collective abilities to access to information have transformed in recent years, while our teaching methods in the university environment have barely changed at all. I ponder how much more advanced our abilities are to locate and share information, while our educational methods in the university setting have barely progressed beyond the overhead projector.

Reflections on open courses « Connectivism - 0 views

  • MOOCs reduce barriers to information access and to the dialogue that permits individuals (and society) to grow knowledge.
  • Knowledge is a mashup. Many people contribute. Many different forums are used. Multiple media permit varied and nuanced expressions of knowledge. And, because the information base (which is required for knowledge formation) changes so rapidly, being properly connected to the right people and information is vitally important.
  • MOOCs share the process of knowledge work – facilitators model and display sensemaking and wayfinding in their discipline. They respond to critics, to challenges from participants in the course. Instead of sharing only their knowledge (as is done in a university course) they share their sensemaking habits and their thinking processes with participants. Epistemology is augmented with ontology.
