  • How can learning - something so basic that infants and animals can do it - defy explanation?

      I have always held the view that learning is incredibly complex, not simple at all. Naturally this statement challenges my pre-existing ideas. I see it as complex because learning is part of a network. A network is a system, and systems are inherently complex - ie. the butterfly effect.

    At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks.

    In a traditional course, the educator hacks the trails to complex information landscapes. The educator's bias influences what is included and excluded. What we're talking about here is the ability for each learner to create their own narrative of coherence.

    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.

    So what distinguishes a connectivist perspective from social constructivism? The difference is fairly subtle. As far as I can see, connectivism resonates with similar principles as social constructivism does, but acknowledges a greater degree of complexity in the nature of knowledge and learning, enabled by advances in technology.

    Sebastian Seung is mapping a massively ambitious new model of the brain that focuses on the connections between each neuron. He calls it our "connectome," and it's as individual as our genome -- and understanding it could open a new way to understand our brains and our minds.

  • The lady of wisdom has so much unwritten knowledge and experience that it could fill a library when ‘unveiled’ Same thing will happen for “Unwritten Knowledge when it become Written”.
