And connectivism does nothing to explain individual learning in a new environment, which was my point (though it is clear that I didn't make it explicit enough). And the thing is, we still have to really see, with sound theory, how technology enhances individual learning, something that concerns me, working in formal education.

I guess that I understand connectivism as that maybe there's no more sense in (traditional) learning, but in building networks of distributed knowledge as extensions to your own self. This way, you "learn" as far as your network grows, your connections happen - same way as synapses in your brain when "real" learning happens. So, yes, you can call it knowledge management, but you can call it learning. In other words: I might consider I've learn the name of who invented the piano, or forgotten his name but know that there was a guy in Florence that was a brilliant luthier, the standing of Stradivari or Amati or Guarnieri and, by these data, be able to find it in Google. Bad example, but I hope my point is clear. Umm, good point.
