Connectivism in schools

The question has been raised again (by Allan Quartly in the Change11 Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/groups/234584909925454/?id=239406186109993 ) about whether connectivism applies to schools. I was wondering whether anyone has been thinking about this course from a school’s perspective. From what I can see, a lot of the research seems to come from “adult” learning environments and [...]

A post that caught my attention this week was one made by Peter Shuckie – – in the Change11 Facebook group – http://www.facebook.com/groups/234584909925454/?id=239406186109993 The post is basically about the constraints imposed by Higher Education institutions on how research can and should be conducted.

The first live session of Change Mooc lived up to expectations. Without a ‘go with the flow’ mindset (i.e. open to unpredictable events) it would have been very frustrating. Could we say that this ‘go with the flow’ attitude is going to be an essential ingredient of effective learning in the 21st century – or [...]

This post has been prompted by Robert Maxwell’s comment on my last blog post. Thanks to Robert Your comment about the messy, chaotic nature of a MOOC is something I both love and fear as an educator. I would love to give my students a foundation of knowledge (the inclass portion) and then let them [...]
Definitions, diversity, emergent learning and responsibility in MOOCs
Posted in ChangeMOOC11, tagged #change11, changemooc11, Connectivism, MOOC on September 16, 2011 | 22 Comments »
Despite being orientation week in ChangeMOOC there have already been some interesting discussions. From these it is clear that MOOC is becoming a more familiar term. There are increasing numbers of MOOCs – (See Stephen Downes’ MOOC Guide) being offered. To date these ‘courses’ have mostly been about the effect of developing technologies on education [...]
