This post is in response to Group A’s wiki on Connectivism. This wiki is clearly in support of Connectivism, and the resources utilized, especially the You-tube video, are very well organized and nicely presented. At the same time, there is only a brief mention in the first line regarding the controversy surrounding this approach to learning. Likewise, at the end of the wiki page, there are further links to supporting arguments that deal with the criticisms, but the authors themselves do not weigh in on this topic with any thoughts of their own.
It would seem that in order to really advocate something, more than the appeal to authority is necessary. Still, the Group A wiki is very well constructed, and clearly written. It advocates very strongly in favor of the collectivist approach, but could do so with perhaps a bit more critical analytical discussion.
