Five Points of Connectivity
Sarah E. Smith, Anthony Potoczniak,
EDUCAUSE Review,
Sept 13, 2005
"By connectivity," write the authors, "we mean the students' and instructors' ability to engage with the course materials in novel ways using technology to enhance the learning process." Which is as odd a definition of 'connectivity' as I have ever seen. The five points are "components of connectivity (that) are necessary for successfully implementing technology in a classroom and for promoting a stimulating learning environment," and more specifically, are: communication, collaboration, motivation, integration, and creativity. Good article, except for the utter misuse of the terms 'connectivity' and 'point'. Additional articles from the latest EDUCAUSE Review are also online, most of them dealing with Net-Generation expectations.
