I’ve been doing some interesting reading lately on new learning theories… and stumbled upon a new word, connectivism,through a paper (and powerpoint) on e-learning by Stephen Downes.
Although the topic itself isn’t one that you can easily browse while soaking in a warm Calgon bath, it does make some interesting reading. More can be found on connectivism learning theory here.
Yup, try and say that three times fast. :)

I'm not sure what downes had to say about the origins of connectivism, but if you are interested in this alternate learning theory, you may want to subscribe to the Connectivism blog of George Siemens (he also has a whole web site on connectivism). The blog is found at:
