This is a blog by Bill Kerr. The blog is about the challenge of connectivism. The main premise of this blog walks through the challenges of actually connectivism can be proven as a learning theory. The final quote of this piece is, "Finally, connectivism misrepresents the current state of established alternative learning theories such as constructivism, behaviorism and cognitivism, so this basis for a new theory is also dubious."

A learning theory is a conceptual framework that attempts to explain what happens when people learn. Learning theories can help people interpret observations of learning, and direct people toward solutions to practical problems. In general, there are three types of learning theories: behaviorist, cognitive, and constructivist.
