-Connectivism is criticized for being more a pedagogical approach and a model rather than learning theory, since it doesn'​t really attempt to explain processes of how people learn.(([[http://​www.surfspace.nl/​nl/​Redactieomgeving/​Publicaties/​Documents/​Connectivism%20a%20new%20theory.pdf|van Pløn Verhagen, Bijdrage. Connectivism:​ a new learning theory?” University of Twente, November 11, 2006.]])) It also describes learning as //​actionable knowledge// emphasizing only the result, not the process of learning.+Connectivism is criticized for being more **a pedagogical approach** and a model rather than learning theory, since it doesn'​t really attempt to explain processes of how people learn.(([[http://​www.surfspace.nl/​nl/​Redactieomgeving/​Publicaties/​Documents/​Connectivism%20a%20new%20theory.pdf|van Pløn Verhagen, Bijdrage.

 Lack of references to previous related works makes connectivisms contributions hard to identify. Some authors notice a number of connectivist ideas already present in earlier theories.(([[http://​www.eric.ed.gov/​PDFS/​EJ815759.pdf|Kop,​ Rita, and Adrian Hill. Connectivism:​ Learning Theory of the Future or Vestige of the Past? International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning 9, no. 3: 1-13.
