Half an Hour: What Connectivism Is - 0 views

      I thought the learning was built in the connections.
  • Tony continues, "I am disturbed by your statement that "in connectivism, there is no real concept of transferring knowledge, making knowledge, or building knowledge" I believe that if Connectivism is a learning theory and not just a connectedness theory, it should address transferring understand, making understanding and building understanding."

  • "Words / language are necessary to sustain long predictive chains of thought,"

      As I was saying before the dog barked, "Words / language are necessary to sustain long predictive chains of thought," constrains these theories to the linguistic realm. What about those who sustain long chains of thought without the use of words?
