Connectivism
George Siemens� knowledge is networked and distributed
across connections � technology and connection making are
the bases of learning in the digital age Stephen Downes� Knowledge is not a thing and it cannot be
acquired� it is the growth and development of
connections in our minds and in society

Am I “smart enough” for the MOOC?
� Self-motivation, self-organization� Network – feeling connected� Deal with abundance of information� Sophisticated use of web-tools
Yes, I’m smart enough –I “survived” the Change 11 MOOC
