So, when I began this five weeks ago I really had no idea what I was in for, and now I need to express some thoughts on what I think about Connectivism as a Learning Theory. I'm not going to argue one way or the other on ...
In my opinion the network theory that underpins Connectivism does not address many of the fundamental implications of a complex entity. And, if a network is not a system or does not need any connection to a system (as ...
Connectivism claims to be a powerful new learning theory that exploits the power of networks and networking to support learning. The term was first coined in 2004 by George Siemens (Athabasca University), who along with ...
Here George Siemens states that traditional learning theories (behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism) conflict with the human need for externalization of...
The concept of a MOOC was developed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes and it enables hundreds of people from across the world to access a massive network of resources – each other. The course, which was on mobile learning, ...
The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes throughout fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler's high school students.

Can the theory inform the practice? For me, the answer has to be “Yes”. That's why I'm even here, investing my time and energy in CCK11. Although I recognize connectivism as the best explanation of how I go about doing ...

Perhaps the interesting thing about both these instances is that they end up as personal attacks on Stephen Downes and George Siemens. Why? The objections revolve around the claim that connectivism is a new learning theory.
Here are the further resources on Connectivism (from course CCK11). George Siemens, Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age; Stephen Downes, What connectivism is, and What Connectivism Is Not; George Siemens, ...
Connectivism is a learning theory advocated by George Siemens and Stephen Downes, among others, which emphasises the importance and role of networks and connections between people (and things?) as preminent (central) to the learning ...
This qualitative thesis explores the work of George Siemens and connectivist learning theory, 'A Learning Theory for the Digital Age'. Findings are based on a literature review which investigated the foundations, ...
It was George Siemens, who first proposed connectivism as “a learning theory for the digital age,” demonstrating the special importance that is given to the effect technology has on how people live, how they communicate, ...
