In just two days, there will be a MOOC talk being held on campus here at SUNY Albany.  Mr.  George Siemens will be discussing his article, Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age.  This article takes multiple points of view on different learning theories, such as objectivism, pragmatism, interpretivism, behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism.  All of these theories attempt to explain how an individual learns, or gains knowledge.  Personally, I believe constructivism appears to explain the learning process best.  I feel as if I gain most of my knowledge through my own experiences.  This article did raise one question for me.  Do you believe that connectivism is more technology based on learning?
