    In this article, connectivism is described as contrasting with traditional behaviorist, cognitivist, and constructivist approaches to learning theories. This article made an interesting point about how learning in today's day and age is impossible without the role of network technologies, the connections within these networks and how these influence knowledge. The article made several points about how connectivism should elaborate using social constructivist thinking, specifically focusing on dialogue. The article puts a specific emphasis on how learning is turning to web platforms and how even though we are communicating over the Internet, we are still humans communicating with humans. The article argues that future focus should be put on the learning dialogue processes within connectivism. I found this peer-reviewed article to be interesting and credible. I think that it brought about different ideas for connectivism and provided a point of view that was different than other articles.
