  • The things we see, the things we feel, the things we hear: these are the qualities of the object.
  • Quantitative knowledge is derived from the practices of counting and measuring

  • • These two types of knowledge account for most of what we know about things that there are out there in the world.
    • our ability to perceive, to sense the world, and our ability to calculate, to think about the world
    • orm the foundation for language, the foundation for logic, and the foundation for all of the sciences we have had up to today
    • Empiricism, the philosophy that all knowledge is derived from the senses
    • Rationalism, the philosophy that all knowledge is derived from calculation and realism

    Summary: Connective knowledge is both:
    - knowledge OF networks in the world
    - knowledge obtained BY networks
  • the actual interactions that take place, the actual interactions that happen between this person and other people, the actual perceptions that reshape the person's neural network.

  • • Active participation in the network:
      - as a node in the network, by participating in society
      - as a whole network, by perceiving with the brain (the neiural network)
      Reflective participation in the network:
      - by observing society as a whole
      - by reflecting on our mental states and processes

  • If we have a lump of coal - and *only* a lump of coal, then there are three types of things to be known about it:
    - its colour and shape and other qualities
    - its mass and size and other quantities
    - the way its parts are connected
    
    And as a result, we have three types of knowledge about this particular lump of coal:
    - qualitative
    - quantitative
    - connective

  • Connectivism is a theory that described this third type of knowledge. It is a theory that tells us what this third type of knowledge is, where it is, what produces it, how we learn it, and how it can be used.

  Stephen Downes on connective knowledge. This starts with qualitative and quantitative as two types of knowledge recognized historically, continuing with some history of philosophical positions on types of knowledge. Downes argues that connective knowledge is not either empirical or rationalist, but a third type of knowledge. He uses a metaphor of carbon in different forms: carbon atoms connected differently can be coal, graphite, or diamonds. It's the same atoms, but the connections are different.

  • So, connective knowledge is knowledge OF the connections that exist in the world. It is knowledge about how such connections are created, and what impact, or effect, such a system of connections has.
  • So we have two types of connective knowledge, the knowledge that we have OF networks, that we obtain by looking at networks, and knowledge that is created and stored BY networks in the world.
