Networks, Neighbourhoods and Communities: A Reflection
Stephen Downes, Half an Hour, February 1, 2011.

So much discussion in the field of education is based in loosely defined terminology and concepts. Take, for example, the advice to 'form community'. There are many things this advice could be manifest as, including any of the three accounts of community given above, and a wide variety of other permutations. We can use network terminology to explain much more clearly complex phenomena such as instruction, communities and interaction. [Comment]

CCK11 Is connectivism retroactive?
david_smith, 1223 - mikedillon1977, February 1, 2011.

From my reading thus far, connectivism is talking about social networks and our brain function in a general way. The term social network and its attendant tech makes network theory overt. but network theorists and, I think connectionists would certainly consider their tools and techniques applicable throughout human history. _Linked_ (Barabasi, 2002), a network and social networking text, cites the spread of Christianity as an example to emphasize the atemporal nature of applying network theories to society(ies). I seem to recall George Siemens mentioning the Gutenberg press in one of our sessions, too.

learning-to-learn is more important than learning. #cck11
ebrahim rahimi, lifelonglearning
I think one of the most important strength of Connectivism is stimulating the conscious reflection of learner in learning process and while most of learning theories focus on collecting knowledge,but Connectivism focuses on the process of collecting knowledge. In other words while other learning theories promote learning, Connectivism promote learning -to-learn, because when the knowledge life time is decreasing the process of finding and collecting new updated knowledge be more important.The ....
