This post - 'Online Learning in the Context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution: The Case of a Connectivist Module in a University Context' - is in French, but the Google translation is serviceable. The paper doesn't always get connectivism exactly right (but who does, really?) but I like this account of the conversion (illustrated) of a course from a traditional to a connectivist model. Who cares about the definition if the practice embodies the principles? Ah, but did it 'work'? It definitely took students out of their comfort zones. But this stimulated a deeper consideration of the subject. "It has thus made it possible to achieve more transformational learning based on the development of curiosity and no longer on a program. In our view, a post-industrial education requires a great decentralization of curricula."
