What is Connectivism?
• 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 • Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to
facilitate continual learning.
![Page 17: CIT MOOCs May 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070313/5549cf72b4c9057c6d8b4c57/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is Connectivism? (con’d)
• 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. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.

As these online universities gain traction, and start counting for actual college course credit, they’ll most likely have enormous real-world impact. They’ll help in getting jobs and creating business ideas. They might just live up to their hype. For millions of people around the globe with few resources, MOOCs may even be life-changing.A.J.
