CCK11 Week 3 Notes
kristibroom, Learning About Learning
This week I find myself with more questions than answers, more confusion than understanding. I’ll start with a full admission that I did not make it through the readings this week, and likely won’t return to them. Instead, I’ve been reading A New Culture of Learning by Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown, who also [...] [Link] 2011-02-02T23:47:28 [Comment]

Networks vs Hierarchies
noreply@blogger.com (Guillaume Janssen), knowledge remix
I have been reading a lot about connectivism over the last two years and most articles or posts are generally concerned with connectivism as a learning theory which is then compared and contrasted with other –isms.  Connectivism is however radically different when one realises how much it is rooted in network theory and how much it challenges existing structures and hierarchies in organisations.“Viewing learning and knowledge as network phenomena ....
