Take a free online course from George Siemens and Stephen Downes
Terence Armentano | August 4, 2008 | 12:43 pmGeorge Siemens and Stephen Downes are going to attempt what some have called a MOOC - Massively Open Online Course - and so far some 1200 participants have signed up. The course will focus on the connectivist theory of learning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectivism_(learning_theory) and in some sense will be an experiment testing the theory itself.
Connectivism and Connective Knowledge is a twelve week course that will explore the concepts of connectivism and connective knowledge and explore their application as a framework for theories of teaching and learning. It will outline a connectivist understanding of educational systems of the future. George Siemens and Stephen Downes – the two leading figures on connectivism and connective knowledge - will co-facilitate this innovative and timely course.
