Abstract
“The learning is the network” (Siemens, 2005) has special resonance for contemporary doctoral candidates, who are as likely to meet their supervisor via an online video platform like Zoom as in a book-lined office. In fact, the physicality of books and libraries now exist alongside – and within – a hyper-connected digital world. This chapter uses “connectivism” as a lens for reflecting on the impacts of digital hyper-connectivity, considering how doctoral learning actually occurs across numerous technologies and multiple sites, in ways that disrupt older, more stable, supervisory models.
