PLEs are not only personal web tools and
personal learning networks. PLEs are
much wider than this, taking in experiences and realia, as well as learning through TV, music, paper based
materials, radio & more formal contexts.Learning content is not
as important now as where (or who) to
connect to, to find it.
PWTs are any web tools, (usually Web 2.0) chosen by learners to support their lifelong
learning.

Connection…
• Learners gain knowledge and new ideas from each other
• Helps learners to develop self esteem• Encourage diversity understanding• Creates an environment of active, involved,
exploratory learning• Addresses learning styles differences among
students

Communication – online, En masse
• Helps the learners to share ideas• Helps the learners to stay in touch with each
other
Collaboration
‘The wisdom of crowds’
Common interests and purpose
Collaborative Learning
• Learners develop higher level thinking skills• Enhances student satisfaction with learning
experience• Develop social interaction skills• Increase student retention• Stimulates critical thinking and helps students
clarify ideas through discussions and debates

From ‘sticky’ to

Web 2.0
Social Media Landscape
• Social media stimulates the interest of learners to learn.
• Social media encourages learners to participate in learning
• Social media recognizes the differences in learning styles, and acknowledges them.
• Social media makes learning fun and flexible

Personal Learning Environments - a concept based on Web 2 .0 and social
software
We are at present undergoing a deep and prolonged industrial revolution
based on digital technologies (Attwel, 2010)
The reform and reshaping of social systems and institutions
has tended to lag behind in periods of rapid technological
change (Attwel, 2010)
Profound innovations in technology tend to be reflected in older paradigms
(Attwel,2010)
but the changing ways in which people are using technologies to communicate
and to learn and the accompanying social effect of such use (Attwel, 2010)
a refusal to engage in these issues risks school becoming increasingly irrelevant to the everyday lives of many young people
(Attwel, 2010)
and particularly irrelevant to the ways
in which they communicate and share knowledge
(Attwel, 2010)
We have to review the industrial schooling model including the organisation of
institutions and pedagogy and curriculum (Attwel,2010)
It is not just young people who use social software for learning
(Attwel, 2010)
Social software is widely used in the
workplace for informal learning (Attwel, 2010)
Most informal learning is learner driven, problem based, or motivated
by interest (Attwel, 2010)
Google is the most used e-learning application
most learning is unaccredited
people learn through legitimate peripheral participation (Attwel, 2010)
PLEs are not another substantiation of
educational technology but a new approach to learning.
(Attwel, 2010)
A response to pedagogic approaches which require that learner’s e-learning systems need to be under the control
of the learners themselves. (Attwel, 2010)
and recognize the needs of life-long learners for a system that provides a standard interface to different institutions’ e-
learning systems, and that allows portfolio information to be maintained across institutions. (Attwel, 2010)
Learning is now seen as multi episodic, with individuals
spending occasional periods of formal
education and training throughout their working life.
(Attwel, 2010)
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 (Attwel, 2010).
the idea of a Personal Learning Environment recognises that
learning is continuing and seeks to provide tools to support that
learning (Attwel, 2010)
Using whatever tools and devices which the learners
choose (Attwel, 2010)
It also recognises the role of the individual in organising their own learning (Attwel,
2010)
PLEs can help in the recognition of informal learning (Attwel, 2010)
PLEs can develop on the potential of services oriented
architectures for dispersed and networked forms of learning and knowledge
development (Attwel, 2010)
“the heart of the concept of the PLE is that it is a tool that allows a learner (or
anyone) to engage in a distributed environment consisting of a network of people, services and resources. It is not just Web 2.0, but it is certainly Web 2.0 in the sense that it is (in the broadest
sense possible) a read-write application.”
(Attwel, 2010)
The promise of Personal Learning Environments could
be to extend access to educational technology to everyone who wishes to
organise their own learning (Attwel, 2010).
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
(Attwel, 2010)
the PLE will challenge the existing education systems and
institution (Attwel, 2010)
Policies to support the development and implementation of PLEs (Attwel,
2010)
recognize different forms and contexts of learning (Attwel, 2010)
the development and adoption of new pedagogies (Attwel, 2010)
the co-shaping of technologies bringing together techies and
teachers, enterprises and institutions (Attwel, 2010)
