To Date…

Connectivism
“At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks.”What Connectivism Ishttp://halfanhour.blogspot.com/2007/02/what-connectivism-is.html

The Best Example…
• 12 week course, readings, activities…• The course on connectivism is probably
the best (early) example of what we mean– We began with the course itself – what we
wanted to cover– We then added communications tools– And then the students took over…

The Principles
1. Diversity
We want to encourage students to engage in diverse readings, diverse environments, diverse discussions
![Page 51: CCK08:The Connectivism & Connective Knowledge Course](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5899c4981a28ab45548b57cb/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The Principles
2. Autonomy
We want students to chart their own course, to select their own software, to pursue their own learning
![Page 52: CCK08:The Connectivism & Connective Knowledge Course](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5899c4981a28ab45548b57cb/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Principles
3. Interaction / Connectedness
The knowledge in this course emerges as a result of the connections among the students and staff – and is not some ‘content’ shoveled from experts to recipients
![Page 53: CCK08:The Connectivism & Connective Knowledge Course](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5899c4981a28ab45548b57cb/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The Principles
4. Openness
We don’t drawe barriers between ‘in’ and ‘out’ – which means we can accommodate the full engaged, the partially engaged, and the rest – creating strong ties and weak ties
![Page 54: CCK08:The Connectivism & Connective Knowledge Course](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5899c4981a28ab45548b57cb/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
