The learning concept of connectivism understands learning according to the following eight principles [5. See Connectivism. (2013, July 2). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 09:20, July 15, 2013]:
- 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: learning can rest in a community, a network, or a database.
- Learning is more critical than knowing.
- Maintaining and nurturing connections is needed to facilitate continual learning.
- Perceiving connections between fields, ideas and concepts is a core skill.
- Currency – as accurate, up-to-date knowledge – is the intent of learning activities.
- Decision-making is in itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality.
