What is connectivism?

Connectivism is a learning theory that emphasizes the role of social networks and technology in the learning process. It posits that knowledge is distributed across networks and that individuals learn by connecting with others, sharing information, and leveraging digital tools. This theory recognizes the importance of learning in a constantly changing environment and suggests that the ability to navigate and utilize these connections is crucial for effective learning. It contrasts with traditional educational theories by focusing on the dynamic nature of knowledge and the importance of collaboration.
