WEB 2.0 IMPACT ON EDUCATION

ConnectivismConnectivism

1 L i d k l d t i di it f i i1. Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions,2. Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources,3. Learning may reside in non‐human appliances4. The capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known,5. Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual 

learning,6. The ability to see connections between fields, ideas and concepts is a core 

skill,7. Currency (accurate, up‐to‐date knowledge) is the intent of all collectivist y ( , p g )

learning activities and8. 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 g g g greality; why there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.
