[Year 12 IPM] VELS and ICT *An Attempt to Model an Ideal Working Relationship

[Bill Kerr]

hi Phil,

thanks for the furl references and the paper by Gerry White - in one spot 
you or one of the references says:

*Given the above, and the opportunities that ICT can enable in education and 
> training, this paper argues that a new theory of learning, to provide a 
> pedagogical framework for the digital age which is based on connectedness, 
> is required urgently.*

George Siemens has suggested such a new learning theory which he calls 
Connectivism.
See http://www.itdl.org/Journal/Jan_05/article01.htm

George Siemens blogs at http://www.elearnspace.org/blog/

I blogged about this back in March
http://billkerr.blogspot.com/2005/03/learning-theory.html

I like his ideas but still need to spend some time putting them into 
perspective with the other dreaded -isms (constuctivism, behaviourism, 
cognitivism)
