This document discusses criticisms of connectivism from different perspectives. One criticism is that connectivism's focus on networks may cause learners to deny the importance of individual learning. However, it is possible to take advantage of networks while also learning individually. Another criticism is that existing learning theories are sufficient to explain how technology affects learning environments, though some believe new technologies require new theories. A third criticism is that rather than a new standalone theory, connectivism would be better as a model integrating existing theories to guide online learning design, though such a model could face contradictions.
