Introduction

Hi y'all

I'm from Tshwane University of Technology in South Africa. I'm employed as an instructional designer, so of course, we have heard all the buzz words, but this is a great opportunity to figure out exactly what connectivism is all about: Siemens and & Downes - what more can one ask for...

For the course to be a succcess, I need to understand exactly what connectivism is all about, and how to implement it in a low bandwidth environment, such as the one many of our students over here live in. Using mobile devices in the process will be an added bonus. Practical application, I guess, is what I want.

Closest I've come to networked technologies, I guess, was hosting online on-fac courses, and facilitating online conferences. (And fidding with Facebook a bit, of course)

Here we go...
