  • Connectivism is an hypothesis of learning which emphasizes the role of social and cultural context. Connectivism is often associated with and proposes a perspective similar to Vygotsky's 'zone of proximal development' (ZPD), an idea later transposed into Engeström's (2001) Activity theory.[1] The relationship between work experience, learning, and knowledge, as expressed in the concept of ‘connectivity, is central to connectivism, motivating the theory's name.[2] It is somewhat similar to Bandura's Social Learning Theory that proposes that people learn through contact. The phrase "a learning theory for the digital age"[3] indicates the emphasis that connectivism gives to technology's effect on how people live, communicate and learn.

  • We can no longer personally experience and acquire learning that we need to act. We derive our competence from forming connections.
  • “Experience has long been considered the best teacher of knowledge. Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people, become the surrogate for knowledge
  • the connections that enable us to learn more are more important than our current state of knowing.

  • Connectivism is driven by the understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering foundations. New information is continually being acquired. The ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital.
  • Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions.
  • Learning may reside in non-human appliances.
  • Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known
  • Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning
  • Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill.
  • Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities.
  • Decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.
  • Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today.
  • When knowledge, however, is needed, but not known, the ability to plug into sources to meet the requirements becomes a vital skill.
  • Connectivism presents a model of learning that acknowledges the tectonic shifts in society where learning is no longer an internal, individualistic activity. How people work and function is altered when new tools are utilized
  • Connectivism provides insight into learning skills and tasks needed for learners to flourish in a digital era.

    An infographic giving an overview of various learning theories and how they relate. Including the notion that perhaps no one learning theory is appropriate in all contexts, for all learners or all purposes.

    An online lecture (slides+audio) from Prof Peter Albion (from USQ) for use in the course EDP4130.  In 20 minutes or so Peter gives some background to the changes in society, information availability etc that is - at least for some - suggesting a need for new approaches to knowledge, learning and teaching.
