Connectivism

• The knowledge is in the network

• Spend less on training, more on connecting


arrange learning like this


or like this…


not like this


do learning like they do it


Effective learning is…

Pull“Learners need own rituals of time and space”

Push“Teaching

requires omnipresent

content”

Relax Build


What is “quality of Learning”?

Where are the learners in the flow of media?


New Rules

• Linear course = silo

• Content’s power grows with adaptability, not with authority

1. Get connecting - stop authoring

2. Get supporting - stop checking

3. De-link learning from platforms, formats


Evaluation & Effectiveness

Measuring is easy – get a KPI dashboard package

DWELLTIME USE STICKINESS PAGE CHURN TIME HABIT LINKAGE VERSIONING RE-USE INDEXING DOWNLOADING

FAVOURITING SHARING BOOKMARKING SUBSCRIBING

but participation is what really matters


Summary

• Yes learning media choice is exploding

• But the choice of media isn’t everything

• Quality of materials is important, always

• Quality of connections even more so

• Learning is process not product

• Beware bandwagons
