Vertaal de volgende tekst in de standaard Nederlandse taal: the sidewalk and change their behavior accordingly.. Self-organization on a personal
level is a micro-process of the larger self-organizing knowledge constructs created
within corporate or institutional environments. The capacity to form connections
between sources of information, and thereby create useful information patterns, is
required to learn in our knowledge economy.
Networks, Small Worlds, Weak Ties
A network can simply be defined as connections between entities. Computer networks,
power grids, and social networks all function on the simple principle that people, groups,
systems, nodes, entities can be connected to create an integrated whole. Alterations
within the network have ripple effects on the whole.
Albert-Lszl Barabsi states that nodes always compete for connections because links
represent survival in an interconnected world (2002, p.106). This competition is largely
dulled within a personal learning network, but the placing of value on certain nodes over
others is a reality. Nodes that successfully acquire greater profile will be more successful
at acquiring additional connections. In a learning sense, the likelihood that a concept of
learning will be linked depends on how well it is currently linked. Nodes (can be fields,
ideas, communities) that specialize and gain recognition for their expertise have greater
chances of recognition, thus resulting in cross-pollination of learning communities.
Weak ties are links or bridges that allow short connections between information. Our
small world networks are generally populated with people whose interests and
knowledge are similar to ours. Finding a new job, as an example, often occurs through
weak ties. This principle has great merit in the notion of serendipity, innovation, and
creativity. Connections between disparate ideas and fields can create new innovations.
Connectivism
Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity
and self-organization theories. Learning is a process that occurs within nebulous
environments of shifting core elements not entirely under the control of the individual.
Learning (defined as actionable knowledge) can reside outside of ourselves (within an
organization or a database), is focused on connecting specialized information sets, and
the connections that enable us to learn more are more important than our current state
of knowing.
Connectivism is driven by the understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering
foundations. New information is continually being acquired. The ability to draw
distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital. The ability to
recognize when new information alters the landscape based on decisions made
yesterday is also critical.
Principles of connectivism:
Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions.
Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources.
Learning may reside in non-human appliances.
Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known
