| Siemens' connectivism incorporates ideas from three areas: chaos theory, networks and complexity and self-organization to explain his theory and expands terms of learning and knowledge. Chaos theory idea that minimal change in initial conditions can result in relevant changes in the outcome here reffer to the fact that knowledge changes over time and network models were acquired because of their applicability and simplicity. | Siemens' connectivism incorporates ideas from three areas: chaos theory, networks and complexity and self-organization to explain his theory and expands terms of learning and knowledge.

| Some authors like professor of educational design Bijdrage van Pløn Verhagen criticize connectivism for being a pedagogical approach rather than a learning theory, since it doesn't really attempt to explain processes of how people learn. | Some authors like professor of educational design Bijdrage van Pløn Verhagen criticize connectivism for being a pedagogical approach rather than a learning theory, since it doesn't really attempt to explain processes of how people learn. | ||
