Since Illich's 1970 vision of learning webs, society has moved progressively closer to a networked world where content and conversations are continually at our finger tips and instruction and learning are not centered on the educator. The last decade of technological innovation - mobile phones, social media, software agents - has created new opportunities for learners. Learners are capable of forming global learning networks, creating permeable classroom walls.

So what distinguishes a connectivist perspective from social constructivism? The difference is fairly subtle. As far as I can see, connectivism resonates with (RT @markdrechsler: #cck11: Connectivism and Social Constructivism – what’s the difference?

Systems thinking as a method of inquiry deals with complexity from the perspective of the whole, not the parts. Most methods of inquiry follow the traditional path of reductionism as established by our sciences. Do you see the 'connection' to Connectivism?

Connectivism, the practice already happened. Let me repeat that, “Connectivism already happened.” Educators, around the world, have moved forward, integrating technology into practice.

Based upon the definition, as stated above, of a learning theory, coupled with the information found below on connectivism, it is safe to say that YES, connectivism IS indeed a learning theory.

Connectivism, at least according to Siemens, suggests that the capacity to know (learn more) is more critical than what is known. One interpretation of this is that it doesn’t mean that what is known is unimportant, it’s just not as important as the capacity to know. In the end, demonstration of the capacity to know would seem to require an ability to demonstrate what is known.

Granovetter's paper "The Strength of Weak Ties" is a highly influential sociology paper, with nearly 14,400 citations according to Google Scholar (by October 2010). In marketing or politics, weak ties enable reaching populations and audiences that are not accessible via strong ties

There is a problem with the conventional categories (such as cognitivism, instructionism / behaviourism, constructivism, connectionist / connectivism, neuroscience) because some (many?) learning theorists bridge more than one category

Connectivisim is a powerful model of knowledge and collaboration. But as a “learning” activity and a theory about how people learn, connectivism does not support students when one of its foundations is the belief that the conduits of learning (the pipes) are more important than the content.

I’m now more interested in terms that address not only what connectivism is, but the ways in which networks are shaped and impact learning (at the neural, conceptual, and external-social network levels). A few of these include:
