New information is  continually being acquired. The ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital. The ability to recognize when new information alters the landscape based on decisions made yesterday is also critical.  -Siemens (2005),  Connectivism

its inspiration from OERs and Connectivism, using many platforms to ensure that devices were 
not a limitation to participation." 
-  "creative pedagogy built around the principles 
of connectivism: autonomy, diversity, openness, and interactivity."

  • new and developing theory
  • learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources
  • values participatory learning and nonlinear exploration
  • flexible and varying instructional techniques 
    engage learners
  • influence of technology
  • involves learning from each other
  • social constructivism involved
  • distributed within a network, social, technologically enhanced, recognizing and interpreting patterns
