What is a PLE?
• A Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is a facility for an individual to aggregate, manipulate and share digital artefacts of their on-going learning experiences.
• The PLE follows a learner-centric approach, allowing the use of lightweight services and tools that belong to and are controlled by individual learners.

Learning has changed!
It is not the development of technology per se which poses such a challenge to education systems and educational institutions…
…but the changing ways in which people are using technologies to communicate and to learn and the accompanying social effect of such use
• A refusal to engage in these issues risks school becoming increasingly irrelevant to the everyday lives of many young people

changes in the way in which we learn and develop new competences is a challenge to our traditional subject organisation
![Page 6: Personal learning environments brenton dass 201225820](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052316/557c1f8ad8b42a925b8b4874/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The ‘pedagogy’ behind the PLE – if it could be still called that – is that it offers a portal to the world, through which learners can explore and create, according to their own interests and directions, interacting at all times with their friends and community

Introducing the concept of PLEs
Personal Learning Environments (PLE) are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning.
This includes providing support for learners to set their own learning goals, manage their learning; managing both content and process
communicate with others in the process of learning
and thereby achieve learning goals.

PLE: Definition
A PLE is :
A concept (based on Web 2.0 and social network) rather than specific software
A group of techniques and a variety of tools:
to gather information explore/develop relationships between
pieces of information browser-based (potentially)

PLE characteristics• Supporting learners in planning and controlling their learning journey
• Setting their own learning goals• Monitoring their progress towards achieving these goals
• Managing their learning – both content and process• Enabling learners to aggregate resources and personalise their learning
environment• Providing recommendations to learners about resources and other learners
(‘study-buddies’)
• Collaborating with others in the process of learning• Providing support to learners for community building and collaborative activities• A shared learning experience instead of a lone study

PLE are based on the idea that learning will take place in different contexts and situations and will not be provided by a single learning provider

LMS/CMS
In order to understand what a PLE is, let’s first analyze what a Course Management System (CMS) is.
A Course Management System (CMS) is a web-based platform for delivering, tracking and managing courses online.
Examples: Moodle, Sakai, Dokeos, ATutor, WebCT, BlackBoard, Desire2Learn
![Page 18: Personal learning environments brenton dass 201225820](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052316/557c1f8ad8b42a925b8b4874/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

LMS/CMS Tools A CMS provides a collection of tools such as:
assessment (particularly of types that can be marked automatically, such as multiple choice),
communication, uploading of content, return of students' work, peer assessment, administration of student groups, collecting and organizing student grades, questionnaires, tracking tools, etc. New features in these systems include wikis, blogs, RSS, e-
portfolios and 3D virtual learning spaces.

• Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources.
• A learner can exponentially improve their own learning by plugging into an existing network.
• Knowing where to find information is more important than knowing information.

Online Learning at the Crossroads
• On the one hand – we have developed tools and systems intended to support traditional classroom based learning
• On the other hand – we could (should?) be developing tools and systems to support immersive learning
• We should be developing for dynamic, immersive, living systems…

PLEs building laid the foundations of some main ideas: (1) learning is an ongoing process and tools to
support this learning are needed(2) the role of the individual in self-organizing
learning is important(3) learning can take place in different contexts
and situations and cannot be provided by a single learning provider.

We can get an idea of what the PLE looks like by drilling down into the pieces…
Model- conceptual frameworks
- wiki (wiki API, RSS)- concept maps (SVG, mapping format)- gliffy (SVG?)
- reference frameworks- Wikipedia- video / 2L 3D representation – embedded
spaces
![Page 36: Personal learning environments brenton dass 201225820](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052316/557c1f8ad8b42a925b8b4874/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Demonstrate- reference examples
- code library- image samples
- thought processes- show experts at work (Chaos Manor)
- application- case studies- stories
The question is, how can we connect the learner with the community at work?
![Page 37: Personal learning environments brenton dass 201225820](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052316/557c1f8ad8b42a925b8b4874/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Practice- scaffolded practice- game interfaces- sandboxes
- job aids- flash cards- cheat sheets
- games and simulations- mod kits- mmorpgs
The question is, how can we enable access to multiple environments that support various activities?
![Page 38: Personal learning environments brenton dass 201225820](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052316/557c1f8ad8b42a925b8b4874/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Reflection- guided reflection- forms-based input- presentations and seminars
- journaling- blogs, wikis
- communities- discussion, sharing
The question is, how can we assist people to see themselves, their practice, in a mirror?
![Page 39: Personal learning environments brenton dass 201225820](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052316/557c1f8ad8b42a925b8b4874/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Choice – Identity - Creativity- simulated or actual environments that present tasks or problems- OpenID, authentication, feature or profile development- Portfolios & creative libraries
People talk about ‘motivation’ – but the real issue here is
ownership
![Page 40: Personal learning environments brenton dass 201225820](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052316/557c1f8ad8b42a925b8b4874/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
PLEs are not another substantiation of educational technology but a new approach to learning.
A response to pedagogic approaches which require that learner’s e-learning systems need to be under the control of the learners themselves.
PLE are based on the idea that learning will take place in different contexts and situations and will not be provided by a single learning provider
The idea of a Personal Learning Environment recognises that learning is continuing and seeks to provide tools to support that learning

Conclusion
![Page 41: Personal learning environments brenton dass 201225820](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052316/557c1f8ad8b42a925b8b4874/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Conclusion cont.:• A model for PLE building is proposed
• The modified Rogers’ model for competence development lifecycle in a learning network is used in order to be examined the main phases in competence progress of each student
• Social networks contribute to the processes by which learners meet and communicate, and pool, share, learn about and reuse their resources, knowledge and competencies
• PLE building is found to be a core for PLN and PfLN deployment
• The transition from PLE to PfLN is an important step that supports students to become self-organized and life-long learners
