| - | 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]](([[http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm|Siemens, G. Connectivism: a learning theory for the digital age. Elearnspace. 2004.]])). 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 or a learning theory introduced in **2004** by [[http://www.educause.edu/Community/MemDir/Profiles/GeorgeSiemens/57433|George Siemens]](([[http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm|Siemens, G.

| 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.
