Connectivism & Connective Knowledge - Stephen Downes, Innovate
In this edition of Places to Go, Stephen Downes describes Connectivism & Connective Knowledge, an online course being offered through the University of Manitoba by Stephen Downes and George Siemens. Designed in accordance with the principles of connectivism, the course, which has been dubbed a massive online open course (MOOC) for its diffusive, networked structure and its free and open enrollment, relies on a web of technologies to connect participants and illustrate its content. Connectivism & Connective Knowledge is not simply the use of networks of diverse technologies; it is a network of diverse technologies.
