WHAT IS THE PLE?




http://tinyurl.com/2zj2xl
Personal Learning Environments - a
concept based on Web 2 .0 and social
software




http://tinyurl.com/5cemav
THE CONCEPT…
•   Learning is centered around the
    interests of the learner

•   This learning is immersive – learning
    by doing

•   The computer connects the student
    to the rest of the world


•   http://tinyurl.com/2zj2xl
We are at present undergoing a deep
and prolonged industrial revolution
based on digital technologies


http://tinyurl.com/5cemav
The reform and reshaping of social
systems and institutions has tended to
    lag behind in periods of rapid
        technological change.
               http://tinyurl.com/5cemav
NEW ENVIRONMENTS
•   Multimedia explosion
     podcasts, vodcasts, YouTube, ݺߣ
     share, more
•     Mobile computing
      mobile phones, PDAs, etc.
•     The 3D web
      Second Life is a start, we will see
      more of this
http://tinyurl.com/2zj2xl
Profound innovations in technology
tend to be reflected in older
paradigms

WEB 2.0: THE LEARNING NETWORK
•   The e-Portfolio lives in the
    intersection between the worlds for
    education, work, and home
•   A model for e-Portfolio as a learner-
    managed construct
•   Key requirement is easy-to-use tools
    and hosting services*

•   *E.g. the “e-Portfolio-as-blog”
    approach

ACCESS…
•   One-to-one computing
    such as the Maine laptop project,
    now spreading rapidly
•   One Laptop per Child
    has launched –
    computers in Nigeria
•   Wireless access
    3G networks, WLAN…

THREE VIEWS OF LEARNING RESOURCES




http://tinyurl.com/3enyu2
1. LEARNING RESOURCES AS A THING
–BOOK, CONTENT OBJECT, ETC.




http://tinyurl.com/3enyu2
2. LEARNING RESOURCES AS EVENTS
–CLASS, LECTURE, SEMINAR, MEETING




http://tinyurl.com/3enyu2
• The first two models are
information-theoretic and medium-
based models
–They stress content
–They stress rules




http://tinyurl.com/3enyu2
3. LEARNING RESOURCES AS FLOW
– STRESSES EXPERIENCE
– STRESSES PATTERN RECOGNITION




http://tinyurl.com/3enyu2
USING THE PATTERNS
For a developer of an application, the
pattern language provides a reference
point for solutions to problems in the PLE
space, assisting the design and
development process
The pattern language may be used as the
basis of an evaluation framework for
comparing the capabilities of different
personal learning toolkits
The pattern language can assist in
understanding the scope of the PLE space
The patterns can be used to identify the
service needed to be offered within the
environment  http://tinyurl.com/crwlzst
SERVICES
A number of key services recur in the
patterns:
Activity Management
Workflow
Syndication and Posting
Group
Rating, Annotating, and Recommending
Presence
Personal Profile
Exploration and Trails
… and ones which are generic
http://tinyurl.com/crwlzst
ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT SERVICE
Service
allows a PLE user to
publish activities, join
activities others have
created, contribute
resources for activities
access resources
for activities.
Broker for Workflow service
http://tinyurl.com/crwlzst
QUESTIONS
What systems have you experienced
that might count as a PLE?

Can a PLE be an institutional tool?

What can’t you do with an eLearning
2.0 approach that you can with a VLE?
