 Connectivism((Not to be confused with [[learning_theories:​connectionism]].)) is a new learning paradigm and a learning theory introduced in 2004 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. Connectivism((Not to be confused with [[learning_theories:​connectionism]].)) is a new learning paradigm and a learning theory introduced in 2004 by [[http://​www.educause.edu/​Community/​MemDir/​Profiles/​GeorgeSiemens/​57433|George Siemens]].

-Motivation for introduction of connectivism comes from Siemens' ​notion that learning theories in frames of [[learning_paradigms:​behaviorism]],​ [[learning_paradigms:​cognitivism]],​ [[learning_paradigms:​constructivism]]((and [[learning_paradigms:​humanism]])) promote the understanding that learning occurs only inside a person.+Motivation for introduction of connectivism comes from notion that learning theories in frames of [[learning_paradigms:​behaviorism]],​ [[learning_paradigms:​cognitivism]],​ [[learning_paradigms:​constructivism]]((and [[learning_paradigms:​humanism]])) promote the understanding that learning occurs only inside a person. ​According to Siemens,

 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 refers 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.
