Abstract

Connectivism states that knowledge is distributed through a personal network of connections and that learning consists of the ability of individuals to generate and navigate those networks. The objective of the study was to develop a digital environment based on the theoretical postulates of Connectivism and to know the interactions of the participants within the system. The sample consisted of 117 volunteers and the data was analyzed with artificial intelligence algorithms. The results show that forums are good predictors of permanence within the environment and, that a greater ability in the use of the internet predicts less use of educational platforms.
