Personal learning environment (PLE) is a learner centered and controlled environment where learner constructs knowledge socially and collaboratively with the help of knowledgeable peers, mentors, and teachers. Teacher, being the most knowledgeable other in this environment, has to develop a strong and multifunctional association between the learner and the PLE. However, in real world scenarios, this is not the case as teachers’ current competencies are not sufficiently developed to provide desired results. A major reason for this inefficiency is the unawareness of the required roles that a teacher has to play in such environments. Our study is aimed at identifying measures to foster teachers’ competence in PLE conceived teaching scenarios. We used the modified version of policy-Delphi in which we worked with 34 international experts who are either associated with PLEs in one of the four dimensions: teachers, researchers, designers, or practitioners. These experts reviewed a 10-item teachers’ PLE competency developing measures list, which we developed through an exhaustive literature review. As per Delphi procedure, the consensus on measures list was achieved in three rounds. During the process, participants collaboratively modified measures list at length and extended list from 10 items to 16 items. Based on the findings, we argue that institutional support is of prime importance to improve teachers’ PLE competence. ]]>

This study examined the challenges faced by the Pakistani higher education system (HES) in integrating information and communication technology (ICT); it aimed at understanding ICT needs, measuring the increase in ICT demand, determining the relationship between ICT and HES performance, and understanding how the HES copes with the challenges of implementing ICT. The results of these analyses were used as the basis to suggest solutions. The normative Delphi method was applied to evaluate a sample of 30 HES experts randomly selected from urban and rural areas of Pakistan by administering a literature-based 35-item questionnaire. The experts revealed significant gaps in ICT demand and supply, ICT use, ICT-based higher education problems, and reasons for delays in ICT integration and provided suggestions for developing ICT-driven HES in Pakistan. This study’s findings suggest that an effective and robust HES ICT policy could greatly improve the status of the Pakistani knowledge-based economy, thus helping establish ICT policy and planning, administration, and integration at the higher education level.]]>

This has been accomplished by an in-depth review of the literature on teachers’ socially situated competencies and roles with regard to the tasks and guidance they provide to students shape their PLEs. Review process provides an insight of PLE research studies, constructivist learning theories, and teacher changing roles.

Social computing applications or Web 2.0 are built on a range of advanced and supporting technologies that enhance collective action and interaction which currently dominates the Web (Parameswaran & Whinston 2007). Social computing applications are categorized into social media, social bookmarking, and social networks categories as identified by the continuing Web 2.0 trend (Schwartz et al. 2009; Amer-Yahia, 2009). Each of these categories has been embodied by various social software and web sites. Some of the best-known and equally famous social web sites that dominate the web are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Wikipedia, Delicious, and LinkedIn. ]]>
