Connectivism: Learning Theory of the Future or Vestige of the Past?
A pre-publication version of a article to appear in the next issue of IRRODL (thanks for sharing it early!). The authors state: "This paper will highlight current theories of learning and critically analyse connectivism within the context of its predecessors, to establish if it has anything new to offer as a learning theory or as an approach to teaching for the 21st Century." They then begin an exploration of the key ideas of connectivism and ask the critical question: "does connectivism
have anything new to offer?". Short answer answer according to the authors: no.
