Video: George Siemens discusses Connectivism and Connective Knowledge (link below):

Learning is not about knowing things, but more about knowing how to discover and mak the right connections with your mind between bits of information and by doing so 'creating' new information.
Nowadays, people have access to everything at anytime. For instance, information be found anywhere, therefore it is not necessary to have all the knowledge in your brain.

Nowadays, people have access to everything at anytime. For instance, information be found anywhere, therefore it is not necessary to have all the knowledge in your brain.
Principles of connectivism (George Siemens handbook):
- learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions
- learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes of information sources
- learning may reside in non-human appliances
- capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known
- 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
- decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosinig what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shiftinig reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision
