Learning may reside in non human appliances. Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known. Maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning. Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill. Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivism learning activities.
