So if we are to avoid a definition of Connectivism that disjoins the theory from similar theories and from the rest of the world and reduces the theory to a handful of essential characteristics how should we proceed?
Do You Tweet? Connectivism, Social Media and School Libraries In the words of author Dr. Ivan Misner, “Networking is not about hunting. It is about farming. It’s about cultivating relatio...
From the dawn of humankind, inequality has existed. There are people who are better at some things and there are people who are worse at some things. As a corollary, a person can be good in some things and worse in other things.
One of the most interesting topics that I found in MOOC is leadership, as I have shared in my previous posts – here, here and here. This also relates to Power and authority in CCK12. Photo:...
It seems to mean more than just a shift in point of view, but it is that as well. Indeed, it is a recognition that there actually is a point of view. Definition from outside the system inward is the attempt at a null-view, an objective view.
Understanding is a relation between the knower and an object of understanding. Understanding implies abilities and dispositions with respect to an object of knowledge sufficient to support intell...
The printing press brought about a shift from oral learning to written learning. The digital connectedness of information and people extends the written paradigm into new configurations, but it is less of a shift than the one from the oral, preliterate world. The claim in the article that “Technology is altering (rewiring) our brain” needs a evidence to make it convincing.
Luis Suarez writes on knowledge management, collaboration and thinking outside of the inbox (An emergent paradigm for learning in the 21st century.)...
“As we expect more from technology, do we expect less from each other? Sherry Turkle studies how our devices and online personas are redefining human connection and communication — and asks us to think deeply about the new kinds of connection we want to have.”
The Internet and new technology gives rises to many new ways to research, analyse and evaluate. Many trends can now be analysed via Google analytics, Google blog search, Twitter hash tags, YouTube hits and ranking, Facebook analytics, Amazon rankings and ratings, and other methods.
What are the main differences among those MOOCs – Stanford’s AI, Couresa, Udacity, MobileMOOC, Connectivism and Connective Knowledge MOOC, Change11 and DS106? Should we manage or lead...
As educators, administrators and all those with a stake in education ponder, reflect, consider and urge a change in educational frameworks, there are other social changes happening as well. Never h...
What this talk is about - it's called "Education as Platform" - is the idea of exploring some of the experiences we've had with massive open online learning, and exploring some of the criticisms that we've experienced, some of the criticisms that we've seen, and trying to understand what elements of the design are working and what elements of the design are not working, and to use this understanding to try to advance our perspective on the way online learning is proceeding and should proceed.
I want to talk more about defining from the middle-out rather than from the out-in, as this change in vantage changes the relationship between the subject (the defining agent) and the object (the defined agent).
Three generations of distance education pedagogy - We need to be able to leverage learning analytics in such a way that we can use it to support constructivism and connectivism, beyond just behaviorism (which too is important, of course)...
Similar to OCWs except that their pedagogical theories and student base differ. A relatively recent innovation in online course development, MOOCs are founded on the theory of connectivism and facilitate learning through ...
There are currently lots of blog posts around, asking yet again ‘What is a MOOC?’ and about the different types of MOOCs – see for example Osvaldo Rodriguez blog George Siemens’ Ele...
