    This is a really great resource for those wanting to have an established PLN at their fingertips. It does lack some of the individuality of a true PLN (or so it seems), but certainly worth having in the toolbox. Nice one.
  •  
    This is a great resource when creating your on PLN. I agree with Jon in that it seems bigger than a true PLN, but what a network they have built here.
  •  
    Another great PLN resource. Many great videos to share. A place to chat with other educators.
  •  
    A great collection of blogs, videos, resource (including an alphabetical list of Twitter Hashtags) for education.

    This is a great PLN for educators. I found videos and blog postings that were extremely interesting. What a cool resource!

A Brief Overview of 4 Learning Theories - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    This video is not strictly about connectivism. With that being said the part about connectivism was very informative even though it was rather short. It starts talking about connectivism at about the 4:25 mark.
  •  
    I agree that this explanation is a good one. It describes it as Digital Age Learning and a creative process. The teachers are then responsible to nurture the connections that the students are making but still letting the students drive the process. Thanks for sharing!

5.4 Strengths and weaknesses of MOOCs | Teaching in a Digital Age - 2 views

  •  
    I was most interested in this website in section 5.4.9, where the author details the strengths and weaknesses of MOOCs, specifically the weaknesses. MOOCs have high registration numbers, but only a small number actually finish the course. They are expensive to produce and they are used mostly by those with higher education levels. Higher levels of learning are difficult to assess and so "credit" becomes difficult or impossible to grant. Copyright issues can also be a problem.
  •  
    I found myself spending most of my time reading the strengths and weakness of MOOCs located at the end of the article. I found several articles that listed only the strengths, or only the weaknesses. I appreciated this article because it examined both.

Extending the Learning Process: Using the Theory of Connectivism to Inspire Student Collaboration - 3 views

  •  
    Summary: Connectivism often features student choice, personalization, and varied paces. Social connections and collaboration are highlighted in this theory. A librarian at Wichita State University implemented connectivist ideals in a research class to make the course more meaningful and useful in the future. She asked students to comment digitally on student created research guides that could be used in the future with other students. This professors success came with strong plans and deliberate use of collaboration among students.
  •  
    Connectivism is presented as the latest theory in library education. It combines elements of cognitivism and constructivism. As librarians engage in traditional 50 minute instruction periods they often miss the individualized instruction that produces the best results. In this article a librarian at Wichita State was looking for ways to take her intruction to the next level. Fortunately she got that opportunity while working with an upper-level English course. Students made connections between sources and among each other by completing a course research guide. At the end of the article the author offered several tips for improving library instruction. Librarians must have a detailed lesson plan in place, strong faculty collaboration, and include fun active learning exercises.
