Connectivism Position Pages
[Small Group Wiki]

This project will be a bit different. On your group wiki, you will collect resources and summarize arguments either in support of connectivism or critiquing it.
 * 1) Read both Verhagen’s criticism of connectivism and Siemens’ response to Verhagen. (Links can be found in Key Information of Module 6 .)
 * 2) Research connectivism further, using online or offline resources available to you.
 * 3) Use your wiki to build a position page either for or against connectivism. You may consider any of the following questions to help focus your research:
 * Is connectivism a learning theory?
 * Is connectivism relevant to your teaching practice? If so, how?
 * Does connectivism support your students?
 * Are parts of the theory more compelling or relevant to you than others?
 * Are there parts of the theory which you find confusing?
 * 1) Cite all sources. Provide links on the wiki whenever possible. Your group's position page should include at least 6-8 additional sources (not counting the two articles from the Key Information for this topic).
 * 2) Use the discussion page within the wiki to collaborate with other members of your group.
