Epistemology: Week 2
A few key concepts in this statement: "Perhaps connectivism is the process by which we collect all of the information from all of the sources bombarding us each day and then working out which bits we need and making some sense of it. One of the real advantages of enrolling in a course like this is the "pressure" to reflect through things like this blog, the Moodle posts and reading the dailies. This reflection is critical to making the connections."
As stated before, learning is the act of seeking to make sense of complex environments. Any course will introduce participants to many new ideas. We need time to pause and reflect. the challenge in hectic information environments is one of taking the time to actually reflect and look at how we're connecting information.
