Between the Chapters #17 connecting the dots to connectivism with @tanbob

25 Years of Ed Tech

For this Between the Chapters, Laura connects the dots to all things connectivism with Tanis Morgan. In reflecting on how Connectivism (Chapter 17) showed up in 2010, they reflect on the disconnects and missed opportunities, plus what it means to deal with a “pedagogy of abundance” today. This mega theory/framework/ideology/whatever you want to call it impacted teaching, learning, and research in higher ed -- we try to unpack what this means then and share what was missing from the connectivism conversations.
