George Siemens can be heard here talking about Connectivism and its implications for education:

There is no one definition of a learning community; however, a common definition is:“Any one of a variety of curricular structures that link together several existing courses---or actually restructure the material entirely---so that students have opportunities for deeper understanding and integration of the material they are learning, and more interaction with one another and their teachers as fellow participants in the learning enterprise.”
