Apart from the connectivism and networks, knowledge has other dimensions of CONTEXT and COLLABORATION in the new work. It is not the conectivity or network that creates knowledge, but the way people collaborate in a particular context.

Two more dimensions of Knowledge need to be understood - COLLABORATION and CONTEXT in specific reference to learning!

This study revealed that those in charge of leading employees who work outside the office need to change their leadership style.

So you are probably asking “What type of leadership style do I need to adopt.”
