6. Connectivism: A Learning Theory for a Digital Age
George Siemens
“Nurturing and maintaining connections are needed to facilitate
learning”
Connectivism is driven by the understanding that
decisions are based on rapidly altering
foundations. New information is continually being
acquired. The ability to draw distinctions between
important and unimportant information is vital.
The ability to recognize when new information
alters the landscape based on decisions made
yesterday is also critical.
(George Siemens)

7. Confronting the Challenges of
Participatory Culture
Henry Jenkins
http://www.edutopia.org/digital-generation-henry-
jenkins-media-video
available free at iTunesU
According to Jenkins a participatory
culture has “relatively low
barriers to artistic expression and
civic engagement, strong support
for creating and sharing one's
creations, and some type of
informal mentorship whereby what
is known by the most experienced is
passed along to novices.” He goes
on to state that “in a participatory
culture members believe that their
contributions matter and feel some
degree of social connection with
one another.”
