elearnspace. Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age on 2009-09-03
- Management and leadership. The management and marshalling of resources
  to achieve desired outcomes is a significant challenge. Realizing that
  complete knowledge cannot exist in the mind of one person requires a
  different approach to creating an overview of the situation. Diverse
  teams of varying viewpoints are a critical structure for completely
  exploring ideas. Innovation is also an additional challenge. Most of
  the revolutionary ideas of today at one time existed as a fringe element.
  An organizations ability to foster, nurture, and synthesize the impacts
  of varying views of information is critical to knowledge economy survival.
  Speed of “idea to implementation” is also improved in a
  systems view of learning.

    As and Educator, I see the management/administration being stuck in an outdated form of leadership, to really move on and expand our knowledge as teachers/learners/community, we need more free thinking from our leaders/admin to push our students into a this new realm of knowledge
- The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe. Our ability
  to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know
  today. A real challenge for any learning theory is to actuate known knowledge
  at the point of application. When knowledge, however, is needed, but not
  known, the ability to plug into sources to meet the requirements becomes
  a vital skill. As knowledge continues to grow and evolve, access to what
  is needed is more important than what the learner currently possesses.
  
  Connectivism presents a model of learning that acknowledges the tectonic
  shifts in society where learning is no longer an internal, individualistic
  activity. How people work and function is altered when new tools are utilized.
  The field of education has been slow to recognize both the impact of new
  learning tools and the environmental changes in what it means to learn.
  Connectivism provides insight into learning skills and tasks needed for
  learners to flourish in a digital era.
