Connectivism

I am not sure that the network has changed the way I learn. What has happened is that it has revolutionized the way I access information. The network has shown that my resource base has also expanded as I am connected to many more people and institutions, many of which are in the virtual world. The way my work is being assessed has changed in some respects since my participation in discussions, blogs and other online activities are graded and a mark awarded to me. This new network has put me in contact with many scholars and professionals whose input gives credibility to my work. The network also shows that my access to information is not hindered by geograhic location nor time zone. I have a good contingency system in place in terms of my ICT support system and my financial connection is also good.

The Ipod is my favorite digital tool. It works for me as a mobile secretary since it always keeps me in touch with my courses and learning community. The beauty of the Ipod is that I am not limited to space and time. I am in touch with the university anywhere and all the time. Another advantage of the ipod is that it not cumbersome and it is very light. When I need to relax I can play music on it and if I need to revise I can also listen to my lectures on it. Great tool!

I gain knowledge mainly by posting my questions on discussion for a, blogs, to my colleagues in the learning community, my instructors and the printed pages.
