7. Connectivism as a Theory of Learning

7.4. Characteristics of learning in connectivism

Learning within this theory is dynamic and ongoing. It is characterized by:

  • Continuous updating of knowledge
  • Use of digital technologies and online platforms
  • Collaboration and interaction across global networks
  • Emphasis on critical thinking and information evaluation
  • Informal and self-directed learning pathways

Rather than being teacher-centered, learning becomes network-centered, where the learner actively participates in knowledge creation and sharing
