Connectivism

A modern theory of learning which focuses on understanding how digital technologies are utilised by individuals to explore diverse information spaces so as to make connections between the spaces, thereby driving the learning process and the attainment of knowledge.

"Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories. Learning is a process that occurs within nebulous environments of shifting core elements not entirely under the control of the individual."
Siemens, George (2005)
