Connectivism and Connected Knowledge 2009
So what do we do next?
Most of us are moving on to the fall semester. I’m taking Intro to Program Evaluation and Performance Systems Analysis.
At least that is what I am taking for credit at Florida State. I’m also going to attempt to keep up with the Connectivism and Connected Knowledge course. I participated last year until I got too busy with “real” school work. The course is taught by George Siemens and Stephen Downes. The course is about the idea that really learning happens in the networks we create for ourselves, not in a classroom or a curriculum.
If this is true, what does that mean for instructional design? How can we design learning spaces so people are able to connect to the network that will best serve them no matter what the learning objective may be?
If you liked the course this semester, I would encourage you to sign up for CCK09, and see if you can keep up. We’ve already started a few learning spaces, including a FriendFeed group.
I’d love to be in the course with people from my program at FSU!
Here’s a video of George Siemens talking about last year’s course:
