Digital learning is becoming increasingly connected, collaborative, and constructed. The shift to horizontal communication networks organized around the internet and wireless technologies has introduced new communication patterns and represents a fundamental cultural transformation as virtuality becomes an essential dimension of reality. Networked intelligence relies on collaboration, openness, sharing, integrity, and interdependence. Personal learning environments allow for learning through experiences outside of formal contexts using a personal learning network and personal web tools. Constructivism deals with how people create meaning through individual constructs, and connectivism views learning as occurring inside and outside people through storing knowledge in computers and other individuals.
