“…a form of knowledge and a pedagogy based on the idea

that knowledge is distributed across a network of

connections and that learning consists of the ability to

construct and traverse those networks. “ – George Siemens

• Knowledge is distributed

• Knowledge is interconnected

• Knowledge is personal

• Learning is a process of

connecting specialized nodes
