Many of the things I've expressed with connectivism are reflected in concepts of information literacy. I recently encountered some resources on Big6 - one viewpoint of managing information overload: "Speeding things up can only work for so long. Instead, we need to think about helping students to work smarter, not faster. There is an alternative to speeding things up. It’s the smarter solution—one that helps students develop the skills and understandings they need to find, process, and use information effectively. This smarter solution focuses on process as well as content. Some people call this smarter solution information literacy or information skills instruction."
