(2008-08-01) Brown Moodle Social Constructionism

John Seely Brown spoke at a Moodle conference, along with Moodle's creator MartinDougiamas about its "Social Constructionism" model. Brown suggests that modern learners and digital learners learn through conversation with others. Instead of thinking and developing an intellectual identity in isolation, Brown believes that "through participation with others in the world we come into being." In short, knowledge is gained through social settings. (Social Software)

Hm, is that Social Constructionism or Distributed Constructionism (Mitchel Resnick)? And which of these is closer to Connectivism?
