  • This paper examines how emergent technologies could influence the design of learning environments. It will pay particular attention to the roles of educators and learners in creating networked learning experiences on massive open online courses (MOOCs). The research shows that it is possible to move from a pedagogy of abundance to a pedagogy that supports human beings in their learning through the active creation of resources and learning places by both learners and course facilitators.
  • Emergent technologies provide different models and structures to support learning. They disrupt the notion that learning should be controlled by educators and educational institutions as information and “knowledgeable others” are readily available on online networks through the press of a button for anyone interested in expanding his or her horizon.
  • Of course this puts the responsibility for information gathering, the validation of resources, and the learning process in the hands of learners themselves,

  • To manage this vast network of resources effectively requires learners to be autonomous in their learning and to have advanced analytic and synthesis skills to distill relevant information from the “noisy” network. Moreover, a high level of competency and interest in using a vast array of tools is required to do so effectively.

  • 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?

  • Since information is constantly changing, its validity and accuracy may change over time, depending on the discovery of new contributions pertaining to a subject.
  • 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).
  • educators in higher learning institutions have been forced to adapt their teaching approaches without a clear roadmap for attending to students’ various needs.
  • 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?
