Not that Connected - Missed the Course (Cause?)

I found this fascinating quote today:

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 (SL: Whatever Russel) and Stephen Downes – the two leading figures on connectivism and connective knowledge - will co-facilitate this innovative and timely course. The course will run from September 7, 2008 to November 29, 2008 and will be fully delivered online.

I wish I did not miss this opportunity. It could have been interesting to learn more about the theories linked to 'connective knowledge'. Well, Google and self-study for me then!

In this complex world, I find my clarity in being connected to other people in open conversations.

So much! information and emerging technologies crowd us, and equally, so many challenges face humanity. We should clear some weeds in a fast-growing digital jungle and find the best ways for people to find and life their purpose with happiness. Develop people and communities by building a new global economy that brings prosperity to more. Maybe we can start this by sharing ideas and adopting what works best...
