“From ancient times, man has sought something beyond the materialistic world, something immeasurable, something sacred. It is the intent of this school to enquire into this possibility. This whole movement of enquiry into knowledge, into oneself, into the possibility of something beyond knowledge, brings about naturally a psychological revolution, and from this comes inevitably a totally different order in human relationship, which is society. The intelligent understanding of all this can bring about a profound change in the consciousness of mankind.”

Connectivism provides insight into learning skills and tasks needed for learners to flourish in a digital era.
