Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age (George Siemens) - 0 views

  • Driscoll (2000) defines learning as “a persisting change in human performance or performance potential…[which] must come about as a result of the learner’s experience and interaction with the world” (p.11)

  • Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories.

    "Every education system in the world is being reformed. And it is not enough. Reform is no use anymore. That is simply improving a broken model. We need a revolution. This has to be transformed into something else." Is there a crisis in our epistemological assumptions, experiential assumptions, communicative assumptions, or political assumptions? Must we rise with the occasion as Abraham Lincoln said? Thoughts?
