Connectivisim started as my frustrations with existing learning theories rose. I started to see, in classrooms and online, that the theories of learning that I had been taught were no longer adequate for (or representative of) how people were learning. Instead of cognitivisim (and views of cognitive schema) or pure construction of knowledge, I noticed students were actually connecting - with each other and technology.

Doing the DPL will be the vehicle to consider this 'new' learning theory.
