      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.
  • 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.

  • 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

  • People learning on an informal network will choose the subject they want to learn about or the activity they want to engage in, but in a connectivist environment they have to make other choices as well.
  • For instance, they have to manage time, set their own learning goals, find resources, and try out new tools and make them work.
  • Research shows that the Internet and the Web are not value-free and do not act as non-hierarchical networks
  • These free agents do not have a responsibility or an obligation to provide a critical point of view.
  • need for critical literacies
  • level of presence.
  • critical literacies, such as collaboration, creativity, and a flexible mindset, that are prerequisites for active learning
  • Other benefits were seen in the form of the extension of personal networks and in new blogs and Twitter participants to follow. Participants highlighted the need for a sense of trust and feeling comfortable and confident to be able to participate, a sense of presence and community that some participants found on the PLENK Second Life site.
  • it is impossible to sustain the high level of reading, thinking, and engaging with materials and people that happened at the beginning of the course.
  • building identity and reputation is being developed over time
  • critical ability to not only use network resources, but also to look at them critically in order to “appropriate them and redesign them,
  • for networked learning to be successful, people need to have the ability to direct their own learning and to have a level of critical literacies that will ensure they are confident at negotiating the Web in order to engage, participate, and get involved with learning activities.
  • confident and competent in using the different tools in order to engage in meaningful interaction.
  • takes time for people to feel competent and comfortable
  • level of learner autonomy

  • Unless you are auto-didactic learner (think Abe Lincoln) who can take a piece of content, internalize it, and not only retain it but apply it, MOOCs are likely problematic for you.
  • 5-8% retention rates. Couple that with weak (aka unauthentic) assessments,
  • In MOOCs today there is almost zero student choice,

  • Build your own (2nd GEN!) MOOC with purpose, solid learning design, and good pedagogical / andragogical models.

  • It's about actually empowering people to develop and create their own learning, their own education. So not only do they not depend on us for learning, but also, their learning is not subject to our value-judgements and prejudices.
  • reducing and eventually eliminating the learned dependence on the expert and the elite
