known as a theory that is explored through chaos, network and self organisation (Siemens, 2005).
a theory that knowledge moves around a range of networks through learning communities and learning occurs through using essential skills to create and move through these communities and networks (Kop & Hill, 2008).
As Siemens (2005) states, “the pipe is more important than the content within the pipe” (p.7). The skills to learn are more important than the knowledge gained.
In connectivism, learning occurs when a learner makes sense of knowledge through connecting with and contributing through a learning community (called a node) of a similar area of interest.
