  • The message is coded in a common ‘language’ where the code is open, not proprietary. So no particular software or device is needed to receive the code
  • Learning is instead thought of as a part of living,
  • Learning therefore evolves from being a transfer of content and knowledge to the production of content and knowledge.
  • This is a very important point, because it shows that traditional research methodology, and for that matter, traditional methods of testing and evaluation, as employed widely in the field of e-learning, will not be successful
  • Virtually all networks are chaotic systems.
  • science based on modeling and simulation, pattern recognition and interpretation, projection and uncertainty.
  • theory of connectivism, which asserts that knowledge - and therefore the learning of knowledge - is distributive, that is, not located in anygiven place (and therefore not 'transferred' or 'transacted' per se) but rather consists of the network of connections formed from experience and interactions with a knowing community.

  • reducing and eventually eliminating the learned dependence on the expert and the elite
