  • For a stranger, the main library at the University of Illinois at Chicago can be hard to find. The directions I got from a pair of clerks at the credit union in the student center have proven unreliable. I now find myself adrift among ash trees and drab geometric buildings.Finally, I call for help. Firouzeh Logan, a reference librarian here, soon appears and guides me where I need to go. Several unmarked pathways and an escalator ride later, I am in a private room on the second floor of the library, surrounded by librarians eager to answer my questions.
  • Most students never make it this far.

  • it replaces older theories that have become inferior, and the new theory builds on older theories without discarding them, because new developments have occurred which the older theories no longer explain.
  • what are the grounds for this measure
  • If connectivism is to build on older theories, how is the integration of the old and new theories to be conducted?

  • educators in higher learning institutions have been forced to adapt their teaching approaches without a clear roadmap for attending to students’ various needs.
  • The wide range of approaches and learning paths that are available to redesign curricula cause friction for educators and instructional designers who are required to deliver course materials in accordance with learning outcomes prescribed and mandated by educational institutions.
  • In connectivism, the starting point for learning occurs when knowledge is actuated through the process of a learner connecting to and feeding information into a learning community.
  • a learning community is described as a node, which is always part of a larger network.
  • Nodes may be of varying size and strength, depending on the concentration of information and the number of individuals who are navigating through a particular node (Downes, 2008).
  • Since information is constantly changing, its validity and accuracy may change over time, depending on the discovery of new contributions pertaining to a subject.
  • he ability to make decisions on the basis of information that has been acquired is considered integral to the learning process.
  • Learning is considered a “. . . knowledge creation process . . . not only knowledge consumption.”
  • One’s personal learning network is formed on the basis of how one’s connection to learning communities are organized by a learner
  • The connectivist metaphor is particularly timely, since the navigation of the Internet and the means by which information is dispersed on the Internet now provides a reference point for Siemens’ assertions.
  • In Theories of Developmental Psychology, Miller (1993) distinguishes between “theory” and “developmental theory,” and identifies the vast deficit that can exist between the two.
  • n general, an emerging theory should fall within the domain of scientific research, use scientific methods, and be based on previously conducted studies.  It should be logically constructed and verifiable through testing.
  • Developmental theories are fertile testing grounds for ideas, which, in turn, may lead to empirical research that can then validate – or disprove – formal hypotheses posited within the framework of the scientific method.
  • How does connectivism fulfil these tasks?
