Networks are sets of relations between elements which integrate those elements into a whole. | * **Networks** - Network models were acquired because of their applicability and simplicity.

| - | Connectivism integrates these principles. Learning is defined as **actionable knowledge** which can reside in a person but also outside one, for example in a database or organization. The process of learning is focused not on acquiring more knowledge into each of such information sources, but on connecting them and maintaining those connections. | + | Connectivism integrates these principles.

| - | Nodes can represent virtually anything (a community, individual, ...), and the stronger the connection is, the faster the information will flow between the nodes. Aggregated nodes form the network, but the network itself can only have limited influence on the nodes.

| 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. | ||
