  • earning is the formation of connections in a network
  • The sort of connections I refer to are between entities (or, more formally, 'nodes').
  • They are not (for example) conceptual connections in a concept map.
  • "A connection exists between two entities when a change of state in one entity can cause or result in a change of state in the second entity."
  • connections are something that we can observe and measure
  • networks are not merely structures, but also that they enable (what might be called) signalling between entities.
  • to the question what is knowledge a connectivist will talk about the capacity of a network to recognize phenomena based on partial information
  • the question of how we evaluate learning in connectivism is very different. Rather than focus on rote response, or on manipulations inside a model, a connectivist model of evaluation involves the recognition of expertise by other participants inside the network.
  • quality educational design
  • autonomy, diversity, openness, and interactivity.
  • They understand that the essential purpose of education and teaching is not to produce some set of core knowledge in a person, but rather to create the conditions in which a person can become an accomplished and motivated learner in their own right.
