Connectivism en Knowing Knowledge

Knowing Knowledge het boek over het Connectivism van George Siemens:
http://www.knowingknowledge.com/book.php

'Knowing Knowledge was developed in a non-traditional process. Instead of an extensive writing/editing/publishing process (often in excess of 18 months), I adopted a democratic, end-user controlled process. It seems a bit silly to write a book on how the context and characteristics of knowledge are changing, and then subject it to the slow, plodding process of traditional publishing. The stages of traditional publishing are valuable (peer review, editorial review, typesetting, etc.). The challenge is the pace at which a book moves through these stages. In a world where knowledge is continually being updated and rewritten, many books risk obsolescence by the date of publication.'

Niet alleen de inhoud van het boek, maar ook het schrijfproces is de moeite waard. Via de bovenstaande link kun je het boek downloaden en de bijbehorende afbeeldingen via Flickr bekijken.
