| - | Connectivism is a new learning paradigm and a learning theory introduced in 2005 by [[http://www.educause.edu/Community/MemDir/Profiles/GeorgeSiemens/57433|George Siemens]]. This theory attempts to approach learning and knowledge in context of technological improvements during the last few decades, since impact of this achievements cannot be ignored. | + | Connectivism((Not to be confused with [[learning_theories:connectionism]].)) is a new learning paradigm and a learning theory introduced in 2005 by [[http://www.educause.edu/Community/MemDir/Profiles/GeorgeSiemens/57433|George Siemens]]. This theory attempts to approach learning and knowledge in context of technological development during the last few decades, since the impact of technological achievements on learning and knowledge cannot be ignored. |
| - | 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.

| Learning is, according to Siemens, "applicable knowledge" that can also reside outside a person (within a database or an organization). He also views on the learning process, in terms of nodes and links between them, as on establishing connections (links) to specialized nodes (information sources). Purpose of connectivist learning is current, up-to-date knowledge, since it can change in time. | Learning is, according to Siemens, "applicable knowledge" that can also reside outside a person (within a database or an organization).
