The document discusses connectivism in contemporary curricula and how to better connect learning experiences. It notes that currently, learning can be unconnected across spaces, activities, learners and teachers. The goal is to create flexible learning pathways and connected curricula across different learning spaces for diverse student groups. Various initiatives are discussed that aim to better connect learning, such as campus-wide recording, blended learning approaches, and monitoring learner analytics. The document advocates for rethinking how data, dialogue and active learning experiences can be better linked to improve students' connected learning.

Editor's Notes
- ECAR study details Briefly cover the others Message: HE is already diversifying and adopting these forms of teaching. Analytics and teaching is CONNECTING, but is LEARNING?
- Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions. Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources. Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning.
- Shifting balance to connectivist and social learning principles, blending technologies, spaces and pedagogies
