Week 3: Connected Knowledge cck12

Connected knowledge is combining personal knowledge from,let's say a network of participants(as in a MOOC), to gain greater knowledge as a sum.  The sum can be referred to the connected learning experience.  In many cases large complex tasks are too difficult for just a single person; manufacturing, organisations etc..  So, a network of reliable entities work towards a common goal, each performing a part of the finished product.  Connecting the knowledge from each of these parts to form a collaborated mutually established end result.

I work as a bus driver for Winnipeg Transit.  We have many departments throughout the organisation; scheduling, trainings, controllers, operators etc.  Without the connected knowledge from each department the organisation would fail to deliver their end product.  Actually, now that I think about it, each network depends on each other on a daily basis.  For example if the timekeepers don't fulfil their commitment to the network of knowledge, a fault in the service occurs.
