Connective knowledge is knowledge that could be described as distributed, because it is spread across more than one entity. A property of one entity must lead to or become a property of another entity in order for them to be considered connected; the knowledge that results from such connections is connective knowledge.
Learning is a network forming process Capacity to know more is more critical than
what is known Learning rests in aggregating diverse, often
opposing, views Content is often the by-product of the
learning process – not the starting point Connections, not content, are the beginning
point of the learning process
Learning can reside in non-human appliances Knowledge can rest within our networks not
only internally in ourselves Ability to see connections (pattern recognition)
between ideas and concepts critical to learning Currency (up to date knowledge) is the intent
of properly created learning networks Decision making is in itself a learning process

The periphery of this network contains three groups of nodes that are usually tied to the core through looser ties:
1) Those new to the community and working to get to the core
2) Bridges to diverse communities elsewhere
3) Unique resources that operate outside of the community, and may span many communities.
“…knowledge embedded in societies or large groups of people”
