    This source discusses connectivism and whether it should be considered a learning theory and what its place is. It also discusses how learning will change and has been changing.
  • Jasmine Quezada on 01 Sep 16
     
    I love this article! It clearly articulates how learning is changing (because of technology and the access to information at a constant rate) and that because of this teaching needs to change. It also addresses the reasons why it is taking so long for education to catch up. I find it interesting how they clearly articulated what are the requirements for a learning theory and how connectivism doesn't fit the bill. Thanks for sharing @ampengilley

    This article really helped to define knowledge in the Connectivist theory. To know something, means that you are able to organize and connect ideas together. The author makes a brilliant point that the more connections you have to the idea, the stronger your knowledge of it is. It also states that it is more important to continue to search for more knowledge and connections than it is to be satisfied with what is currently known.

    This is a scholarly paper where Stephen Dowes discusses Personal Learning Environments (PLE) centered around the theory of connectivism. His discussion suggests that web 2.0 is unsuitable and too limiting for online learning. He suggests that in the PLE "management of learning migrates from the institution to the learner" (p. 15). In this way, the learner consumes resources as well as creating them.

    I had a difficult time finding articles on PLN & PLE that were theoretical and not practical in nature. This article by Stephen Downes actually explores the connection between PLNs and Connectivism.
  • Christina Modrell on 09 Sep 13
     
    This article discusses different learning theories. One of the theories was network semantics and connective learning. This section describes what it means to be a network. Then it connects networks to what it means to be connective.

    After reading this article I can get my head around how important PLN are and I applied it to my corporate job. Both my peers and the people who report to me connect in many ways.

    We are not teaching one subject, we should be teaching the student! This video shows how using a PLN and Connectivism, you can create more ideas from people outside the classroom. There are also many people willing to help you if you look for them.

    Development of connectivist instructional tools used for college teaching. The theory can lead to learner-centered education. Instructors can step back and bring learners to the forefront. "Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories."

    I also found this article and liked it. As I read it I was trying to think of ways to apply to secondary education instead of higher education. Good work.

    Explores how personality affects interactions and perception of interactions amongst learners. Noting that there is sometimes tension between being connected enough to benefit from plethora of choices on the internet & still experience individual, personal development. An important component of understanding connectivism is to never assume that those who do not show overt involvement are not as engaged as those who do.

    How our educational system was and is set up and what we could possibly do to help our educational system in the most stimulating time in our history. This is a little bit of connectivism but more about understanding the past and how it is shaping the future of our education and why we need a change!

    This blog post describes the relationship between Lev Vygotsky's idea of the zone of proximal development and Jerome Bruner's concept of scaffolding. The practical applications of connectivism and PLNs are not explored much in this post, but the theoretical connections are valuable.
  • Darla Grant on 11 Sep 12
     
    Hi Jamie, I am a huge fan of the zone of proximal development. I think the application with PLNs is such an interesting concept. I am glad that you connected the theory to the practice. Thanks for sharing.

    I like how she brings in her own life experience to prove her points about how Twitter is a learning network. Her comments on back channelling and her students really hit home for me.
  • glorihinck on 07 Sep 13
     
    I'm also taking Global and Cultural Perspectives in Educational Technology this term and this article really relates to the discussions on culture that we are having in that class. It made me realize that in some ways connectivism and the use of social media- i.e. back channeling and tweeting- are a whole new culture to learn and this is why I'm struggling a bit with it.
  • cynthia mills on 07 Sep 13
     
    Great article. Like Nona, it home for me as well. I appreciate how the author uses her own personal experience in the classroom to demonstrate her understanding of social networking. Today, I encourage my students to use their phone to take pics of assignments, tweet info, and access information. Back channeling is a great term!

    Summary: This article identifies possible gaps in Connectivism (as a learning theory) and its interpretation when it comes to MOOCs. The article explores the principles that are not addressed or not supported by Connectivism. Some of these "forgotten" principles are: motivation, self-efficacy, cognitive load, prior knowledge, avoids scaffolding, doesn't differentiate between expert and novice, and ignores novices' needs.

    Very interesting article, though I'm not sure I agree with some of the points the author attempts to make. For example, "Connectivist theory does not allow for novice support, from the design and instructor side." While this may have started out as the case, classes like the one we're in now are attempting to address this issue by arming educators with tools and methods for scaffolding novices into the networking world. :)
  • Jason Marconi on 05 Sep 13
     
    I knew I was going to enjoy this article after the author said this " I do this because there is no "one size fits all" theory. Because there is no "one size fits all" student." I have been screaming this from the roof top since I stepped into the education and when trying to get some instructors to step out of their comfort zone that is not producing the results we need in the classroom. I learned a good deal from this article especially the four ways to undermine self-efficacy . Great Find.

    Loved the line "I'm ideologically promiscuous."
  • Forrest Doud on 08 Sep 13
     
    I like the point made that not everyone is actually a "Node" in a MOOC or similar connectivist structure. I agree with the author that this will always be the case because we unfortunately are not " all digitally literate nodes, knowledge is in the network, we are all motivated, have good learning strategies, and information sifting abilities, and can cope with multi-platform information streams...". Great find!

    A critique of Connectivism that finds it's research is too lacking to accurately be labeled as a learning theory. The author finds that the theory is unable ton truly define itself without combining other learning theories that it simultaneously seeks to do away with. He argues that it is simply a patchwork of other theorists ideas.

    This article quickly explains behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructionism and why those theories are not designed for the digital age. The article explains how there are some severe limitations and explains why connectivism would be a more appropriate theory for the current digital age. The article explains how learning will come from changing foundations and how discerning between useful and useless information is an important skill.

    This article states the importance of connectivism in the facilitation of self-directed and self-regulated components of education. Details of a study on introducing learners to this type of learning report the necessity of student support and scaffolding when planning to implement self-directed learning into a course.

    A paper suggesting the need for technology to fully nurture and create an authentic learning process. It advocates for a an equal, four-part learning ecosystem that includes learning content, learning context, learning subjects, and learning technology. In addition to technology having its own dedicated category, the idea of connectivism can be found throughout the other three categories as well.

    SUMMARY: MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are designed to take advantage of social networks and track the learning of specific topics and specific users across tools, sites, apps, and more. MOOCs can be a part of your PLE, or your PLE can be an integral part of your MOOCs. Either way, Connectivism is at the heart of every MOOC.
  • Casey Capece on 20 Jun 13
     
    Cate - After watching this video, I found MOOC to be very similar to what we are doing in this class. Engaging in the learning process and connecting/collaborating with one another. However, there are differences, such as - we do pay for this course! Overall, great social networking tool for learners. Thanks for sharing.
  • Ilene Reed on 20 Jun 13
     
    Cate, I liked this post. It was nice to get to listen instead of read, read, read. I found the information interesting. I had never heard of a MOOC or at least not identified as one. It fit perfectly with the connectivism. I found his comment about promoting life long network learning valuable. We are there, might as well take advantage of the opportunities.
