Connectivism ■ Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions. ■ Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources. ■ Learning may reside in non-human appliances. ■ Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known ■ Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning. ■ Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill. ■ Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities. ■ Decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.

Notes de l'éditeur
- \n
- a useful fact to remember\n
- Is this a learning technology?\n
- in other words, we make use of the way things are, putting them together in order to do something\n
- should be clear by now - not just how tools are used, but actually technologies themselves\n
- as long as it uses repeatable and intentional method, it is using technology\n
- ref Terry Anderson. actually a process of coevolution\nit is not a question of whether technology comes first or pedagogy comes first - they have to work together\n but some technologies like to lead the dance\n\n
- \npresedentcia municipal - almaraz\nStructure influences behaviour - provides limits of what is possible. \nIf structure takes us where we want to go, all is well. Can also provide creative constraint. \n\nHowever...\n
- things go wrong when we don’t make things work together well - when we, for instance, try to fit incompatible patterns of pedagogies together. e.g. marking of participation in forums (you are marking a process, not a product, and making people say things even if they have nothing valuable to say, and people get better as they go) - mapping instructivist and constructivist methods.\n
- \n
- This is about theories of individual learning, including Piaget’s version of constructivism\n
- \n
- \n
- students can choose pace - and choose to ignore the instructions!\n

- inefficient for the individual? sometimes\nvery confusing to navigate - especially popular forms like MOOCs\n
- most effective methods so far involve a blend of techniques - still need the stuff from which to learn, still need to form groups to learn with\n
- Instructivist: pedagogy etc entirely embedded - very hard\nConsturctivist: process still instructor determined, but greater flexibility and adaptability\nconnectivist: very soft and flexible - process invented as we go along, technologies assembled (which makes them soft)\n\n
- hard technologies have their processes embedded - may be laws or rules or part of the software or hardware - \nnotably, LMSs embed implicit pedagogies\n\nhard technologies tell us what to do - they reduce choices. So, they make things easy. and reliable, fast, free from error\n
- by which I mean soft technologies are more difficult (and unreliable, slow)\n\nWe have to invent social technologies and to literally be a part of them\n\nSofter technologies increase the adjacent possible by enabling and/or making more likely new choices to be made. They enable creativity\n\nMore choices come at a price - we have to make them. That is one thing that makes them difficult or hard.\n\n

- I have mapped Moore’s transactional distance to control: \n1st gen the teacher decides everything, apart from (sometimes) pace and place\n2nd gen, control is negotiated, though teacher tends to determine pace\n3rd gen control is from the learner - can be a bit confusing though\n4th gen, control is emergent and combines the wisdom of all\n

- collaborative filters\n social navigation\n recommender systems\n tag clouds\n network mining\n learning analytics\n
- The big challenge is to design ecosystems in which collectives that evolve are wise, and act as effective teachers\n\nbut -- where do you turn when you want to learn something new?\n
- we all turn to google or wikipedia when we need to learn something.\nThere are ways to build better - e.g. see my own paper, \n
- See publisher’s site at http://www.igi-pub.com/books/details.asp?ID=6732\n\nmy book contains info on building software and social technologies (including soft systems) for learning. Alternatively, see\n
