Connectivism, Industrial revolution, Online education, 21st century skillsAbstract
This article proposes a link between the different industrial revolutions, major learning theories, and online learning. We show that while learning theories have become progressively more learner-centred, systems of mass production and mass education increasingly separate consumers from the design of the products they use and likewise separate learners from the design of their learning and curricula. By introducing a connectivist element into a university course, we show how students are affected by a connectivist approach to education and discuss how such an approach could be used to develop essential skills for the fourth industrial revolution.
