This week, like many learning professionals around the globe, I commenced an online course to disrupt all online courses, Connectivism & Connective Knowledge.

The #CCK09 MOODLE has many resources and you can drop by and read all the participant introductions.

Connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks’.

After listening to Stephen Downes and George Siemens discussing what is Connectivism my understanding of this learning theory is deepening. Their differing perspectives are clearer – and very complimentary.

I’d like a list of recommended readings pertaining to neuroscience from Stephen and George.

Also, I wonder if George or Stephen were fans of James Bourke’s televison shows or know about his K-web?
