Dave Cormier

Dave Cormier is an educational researcher and thinker best known for popularizing the concept of "connectivism," a theory of learning in the digital age. He emphasizes that learning now occurs through networked connections—like social media, online communities, and digital tools—that enable individuals to access, share, and build knowledge collaboratively. Cormier’s work highlights the importance of flexible, community-driven learning environments, recognizing that knowledge is constantly evolving and often shaped through informal, interconnected networks rather than traditional classroom settings. His ideas influence modern approaches to education and digital literacy.
