q1 i? Ravenscroft positions dialogue as a central feature of networked learning, grounding a dialogic view of connectivism in Bakhtin and Vygotsky's social constructivism. → Dennis 2020

Dennis, J. (2020). Languaging Network Learning: The Emergence of Connectivism in Architectonic Thought. International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 21(3). https://www.irrodl.org/ doi:10.19173/irrodl.v21i3.4718

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

The article reports, citing Ravenscroft (2011), that "thinking in networks will usually mean thinking through collaborative dialogue," and that future learning landscapes will still consist of people socially interacting with other people. The article uses this as the anchor for extending the dialogic account into the fuller architectonic tradition.

"According to Ravenscroft (2011), "thinking in networks will usually mean thinking through collaborative dialogue" (p. 142)."
