  • Learning theories are concerned with the actual process of learning, not with the value of what is being learned. In a networked world,
  • the likelihood that a concept of learning will be linked depends on how well it is currently linked.
  • “the simple notion that some domains of knowledge contain vast numbers of weak interrelations that, if properly exploited, can greatly amplify learning by a process of inference

  • present the learner with different phenomena and they will learn different things.

      present two learners with the same content and they will still know the same thing but in different ways. 
  • What happens when online learning software ceases to be a type of content-consumption tool, where learning is "delivered," and becomes more like a content-authoring tool, where learning is created?”
  • The objective of a theory of learning networks is to describe the manner in which resources and services are organized in order to offer learning opportunities in a network environment.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • 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.
