  In this article, author Frances Bell, addresses the idea of connectivism as a learning theory first by addressing how Web 2.0 technology has changed the way in which we learn and access information. The article addresses how web-enabled learning has resulted in disjointed theories such as behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. These theories no longer provide an adequate framework for the students we have in our classrooms. However, is connectivism the theory for the digital age that will replace all previous theories? Bell states that connectivism is insufficient as a theory to inform learning. Instead, it exists as an influential phenomenon to inspire teachers to change their practice to meet the needs of the learners in their classrooms today. I found this peer-review article to be very credible and helpful in understanding connectivism as an emerging learning theory.
