Web 2.0 Learning Theory
The "is connectivism a learning theory" debate will not conclude with this course. Regardless of how the question is answered, I (George) see a growing awareness in rethinking learning due to today's information and technological environment. Some aren't convinced connectivism is the answer...or at minimum, have concerns that they are exploring. The link above is to a wiki on Web 2.0 Learning Theory. I"m personally not a fan of the concept of web 2.0. If we build a theory on an instantiation of change, rather than the longer term change underlying web 2.0, we end up with a short lived theory. But name aside, the fact that others are grappling with changing roles of learner/teacher is welcomed. , , November 19, 2008 [Link] [Tags: none] [Comment]
