Connectivism

10. Source: George Siemens Quote from:
http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm
“One of the most persuasive factors is the
shrinking half-life of knowledge. The “half-
life of knowledge” is the time span from
when knowledge is gained to when it
becomes obsolete. Half of what is known
today was not known 10 years ago.”

11. Principles of Connectivism
• Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of
opinions.
• Learning is a process of connecting specialized
nodes or information sources.
• Learning may reside in non-human appliances.
• Capacity to know more is more critical than
what is currently known

12. Principles of Connectivism
• Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed
to facilitate continual learning.
• Ability to see connections between fields, ideas,
and concepts is a core skill.
• Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the
intent of all connectivist learning activities.
