Quantifying Connectivism

How to get distracted from your work (and life) -- my brother's separation and unfortunate protection order so I become quite familiar with Manitoba Family Law and Family Law Forms 

Favorite form: 16a of course -- where the flip side requires a return address and return postage -- 16a, Acknowledge of Receipt Form.

(PS. If you need help with any legal issue in Manitoba, I am available to assist you with Pro se cases)

It has interfered with my research and paper on Marshall McLuhan - who I believe has to be linked to Connectivism in order to validate the Theory.

To refresh and start the paper -- where L is learning, K is knowledge, Ç is capacity,


P1: L and K rests in diversity of opinions

P2: L is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources.

P3:  L may reside in non-human appliances.

P4Ç (capacity) to know more is more critical than what is currently known 

P5:  Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning. 

P6:  Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill. 

P7:  Currency is the intent of all connectivist learning activities. 

P8:  Decision-making is itself a L process. Choosing what to L and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. 

P8.1: While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.

Currency - is accurate, up-to-date knowledge.
