George Siemens on how connectivism differs from constructivism and other learning theories, starting from the point that "a new idea is often an old idea in today's context."

Connectivism is the application of network principles to define both knowledge and the process of learning. Knowledge is defined as a particular pattern of relationships and learning is defined as the creation of new connections and patterns as well as the ability to maneuver around existing networks/patterns.

  - Connectivism is the application of network principles to define both knowledge
    and the process of learning. Knowledge is defined as a particular pattern of
    relationships and learning is defined as the creation of new connections and
    patterns as well as the ability to maneuver around existing networks/patterns.
  - Connectivism addresses the principles of learning at numerous levels -
    biological/neural, conceptual, and social/external. This is a key concept that
    I'll be writing about more during the online course. What I'm saying with
    connectivism (and I think Stephen would share this) is that the same structure
    of learning that creates neural connections can be found in how we link ideas
    and in how we connect to people and information sources. One scepter to rule
    them all.
  - Our knowledge resides in the connections we form - where to other people or to
    information sources such as databases. Additionally, technology plays a key role
    of 1) cognitive grunt work in creating and displaying patterns, 2) extending and
    enhancing our cognitive ability, 3) holding information in ready access form
    (for example, search engines, semantic structures, etc)
  - Connectivism finds its roots in the climate of abundance, rapid change, diverse
    information sources and perspectives, and the critical need to find a way to
    filter and make sense of the chaos.

connectivism also shares in bringing to the forefront ideas of philosophers and theorists from previous generations. Much of what is unique is the particular combination and integration of ideas that reflect the broader societal and information-based trends.

- inclusion of technology
  - Gina Minks on 2008-09-07
    
    Isn't technology actually bound to your place in society (access, understanding, how you are taught to use it, etc?) If so, can't including it as part of a learning theory be very dangerous?
  - Diego Leal on 2008-09-08
    
    Not necessarily, if you think about technology in a broader sense (language as technology). IT makes connectivism ideas a little more visible, but like it's said above, networks are everywhere...
  - 1 more sticky notes...
  - Gina Minks on 2008-09-10
    
    but even language can be class-based. If people don't know the words to use, they can be excluded from the small world or network that may hold the information they need
