Connectivism

The nature of knowledge is changing rapidly, from being almost immutable and timeless, to having a shrinking 'half-life' (the time from when knowledge is gained to when it becomes obsolete). With the abundance of knowledge, we can "no longer personally experience and acquire learning that we need to act. We derive our cmpetence from forming connections." (Siemens, 2004). The way we make meaning has changed, from engaging in meaningful tasks, we now make meaning through recognising patterns. Learning, defined as actionable knowledge, is disembodied (it can exist outside our heads), places emphasis on the connecting of information and prioritises our ability to search and learn more over what we already know.

Connectedness (to the right people, right context, right information at the right time) - Currency - Capacity to know - Capacity to Choose - Creating and Cultivating Collective Cognitive Capacity.

Learning is no longer just an individual and internal activity.
