What are personal learning spaces?

Concept of Personal Learning Environments emerges from the concept of the personal www

A set of applications which move the web from a delivery tool to a personalised experience

Web applications which move from applications that provide content to applications that allow each of us to be part of communities of webusers who are knowledge creators and not knowledge receivers
