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.
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.

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.
