Intentionalism and Meaning
This is an in-depth discussion of how Connectivism, as I (Stephen) see it, engages with the philosophical positions known as intentionalism, associationism and realism. Difficult reading (sorry) but rewarding if you want to place the theory into perspective against more traditional philosophies.

CCK08 Weekly Chat #2
Recording of the Friday conversation between George Siemens and Stephen Downes. moderated by Dave Cormier. Lots of good discussion as we tried to look in detail at some of the ways our approaches differ. The nature of networks and different perspectives of networks highlight the topics. If you didn't catch this live, you'll want to listen to the recording.

CCK08 - Lessons Learned (2)
Mariis Mills reflects on Friday's discussion on UStream and asks, "where is the Body in Connectivism, is it just a Cartesian container for the Brain (the Neural) or how is the Biological to be understood -and how do we understand these questions in relation to technology and especially the Web. Would it be plausible in relation to Connectivism to state that technology can provide a perception of embodiment?" In the comments to this post I offer some thoughts on the matter.

Work the Net - A Management Guide for Formal Networks
This is an interesting document I hadn't seen before. From Giorgio Bertini, in Twine: "This is a hands-on guide for setting up, managing an using formal networks. It focuses on the structural and operational issues of networks and explains some aspects in making them work. The guide addresses networking practitioners, as well as other professionals wishing to establish a network."
