This plenary session is entitled, &quot;<a href="http://www.educause.edu/ELI081/Program/13300?PRODUCT_CODE=ELI081/FS02">Connectivism</a>&quot;.</p><p>The waves of technological and social change have eroded the effectiveness of traditional views regarding what, how, and why to educate. To effectively educate learners, fundamental assertions need to be rethought: the design of schools and curriculum, the nature of knowledge in a connected world, the relationship between educator and learner, the means and methods of authenticating information and knowledge, and, perhaps most significantly, what it means &#8220;to know&#8221; in complex, rapidly developing, and chaotic environments. This session will present connectivism as a theory of learning that can bridge the rift between traditional and new educational approaches to prepare learners for the tomorrow they will inherit. </p> http://connect.educause.edu/display/46016#comments Blogs Change Management ELI Annual Video eliannual08 Future of Higher Education Net Generation Learner Organizational Issues (Teaching and Learning) pedagogy Teaching and Learning Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:33:13 -0600 gbayne 46016 at http://connect.educause.edu
