Connectivism is a theory of learning that combines ideas from different fields, like education, technology and psychology. It's about connecting people with each other and with information and ideas. Think of it like a way of learning that's based on making connections and understanding how all the pieces of something fit together. It's different from the traditional way of learning because it focuses on the connections between people and ideas, rather than just the content of what is being learned. So instead of memorizing facts, you might think about how different facts relate to each other and how that can help you understand something better.
