A free online course on connectivism

Taken from the course description at http://ltc.umanitoba.ca:83/wiki/Connectivism# :

Connectivism and Connective Knowledge is a twelve week course that will explore the concepts of connectivism and connective knowledge and explore their application as a framework for theories of teaching and learning. It will outline a connectivist understanding of educational systems of the future. George Siemens and Stephen Downes – the two leading figures on connectivism and connective knowledge - will co-facilitate this innovative and timely course.

Free, 6-week online Web 2.0 and TEFL course
