      Importance of making mistakes.

      Referenced in "Becoming a Networked Learner" through quality, not quantity. Cultivating fewer strong connections vs many weak connections.
  • The singular filter of the teacher has morphed into numerous information streams, each filtered according to different perspectives and world views.

      Collective and social approach in learning. This eliminates the single point of failure in a traditional classroom. Have you ever had a class ruined by one bad teacher? In this scenario, learners can salvage a potentially bad experience by drawing on these multiple streams.

  • Vaill emphasizes that “learning must be a way of being – an ongoing set of attitudes and actions by individuals and groups that they employ to try to keep abreast o the surprising, novel, messy, obtrusive, recurring events…” (1996, p.42).

      Good quote on holistic nature of learning, and allusion to the utilization of tacit knowledge. 
  • At some point, however, the underlying conditions have altered so significantly, that further modification is no longer sensible. An entirely new approach is needed.
  • How are learning theories impacted when knowledge is no longer acquired in the linear manner?

      The consistency of classroom-based learning provided a traditional sender/receiver model, for theories to thrive, based on observed behavior among student populations.  Now, there is a move toward the individual, and their impact on the world around them, as the boundaries are blurred. This forces theorists to adapt to the non-linear approach by establishing multiple approaches that converge to suit an individual - as opposed to a larger population.

  • Chaos is the breakdown of predictability, evidenced in complicated arrangements that initially defy order.

      Jurassic Park fans anybody? This reminds me of Dr. Ian Malcolm, and his description of chaos theory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cVLUPwrSmU. 
  • Connections between disparate ideas and fields can create new innovations.

      This seems to imply superseding emphasis on established concepts, and an emphasis on outside perspectives. Possibly a top to bottom approach to questioning established ideas, and allowing individual concepts to exist. 
  • Learning may reside in non-human appliances.

      This gives non-human subjects the ability to derive meaning through actor network theory (ANT): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor%E2%80%93network_theory
  • Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities.

      Commoditization of knowledge?
  • Knowledge that resides in a database needs to be connected with the right people in the right context in order to be classified as learning.

      These databases become living entities, and are granted meaning through interactions and input from human participants. Once the connection between these nodes is broken, so is the agency of the non-human actor.

  • John Seely Brown presents an interesting notion that the internet leverages the small efforts of many with the large efforts of few.

      Like in Wikipedia or even content virality, the large efforts of the few that contribute, are amplified by the small efforts of many (sharing).
  • Learners as little as forty years ago would complete the required schooling and enter a career that would often last a lifetime.

      Speaks to the stagnation often associated with today's processes. The speed mentioned in the Arc of Life article is a refreshing contrast to this.
