  • Siemens (2005) argues that knowledge exists outside of the learner in technologies that store and organize information.
  • learner makes connections between concepts, opinions and perspectives accessed through their personal learning network, knowledge emerges and learning occurs
  • A personal learning network comprises connections between nodes which are information sources stored in a variety of formats, including individuals, groups, communities, ideas, systems and resources

  • In connectivism, exploring, discovering and aggregating existing knowledge is more important that inventing new knowledge
  • The learner needs to filter and validate the knowledge by considering the connections through which it was transmitted

      This is a major aspect of online learning that I have noticed many of my students lack: validating the source of the information. They have a tendency to take all information at face value without questioning the source.

    This blog summarizes why Siemens felt the need for a new learning theory and what connectivism consists of. I like how this post highlights that today there should be more of a focus on finding and putting together existing knowledge in new ways, rather than trying to find or invent new knowledge.

    The authors state the the use of blogs as aggregators for student Personal Learning Networks (PLN) is an effective tool to help organize the many fascists of unique environments. They point out that in order for students to successfully create and use their own PLNs there must first be a successful example by an instructor for the students to model. They point out that although students may be using several of the tools that will ultimately comprise their PLNs, it is a fallacy to assume that students inherently understand the power and connectedness of these environments.

    This article discusses how the use of technology can connect people to enhance their abilities. They discussed this in terms of public affairs, but it could be used in other fields. Connectivism is talked about in terms of growth as an individual and as a collection of generational knowledge.

    This article explores connectivism as a learning theory, then discusses how to use personal learning networks in your communities of practice. The author quotes from many experts in communities of practice and connectivism. Much detail was given to blogging.

    Although this article is focused specifically on public affairs education, it is relevant to all learners. The author discusses professional learning networks as methods to connect and build communities of practice. Using personal experiences teaching a college course, the author's creation of communities of practice took learning for students to the next level.
