Personal Learning Environments are sets of tools designed to support the learning process and are closely matched to the needs of individual learners. They are intended to help the learner to identify learning goals, manage the learning process and communicate with relevant people.
How is the educational landscape going to change in the near future? Which are the key trends and new directions which are going to influence the most we study, research and learn?

New, decentralized forms of learning such as personal learning environments , non-traditional and more flexible approaches like just-in-time and informal learning , are bound to shape differently not just the way you learn but more than anything the way you think and... Read Full Story
I'm an invited speaker for the online PLE/PLN Symposium that has been organised by George Siemens and Stephen Downes for next week.

manage their learning; managing both content and process
communicate with others in the process of learning
and thereby achieve learning goals."

There has been a lot of talk recently about PLEs (Personal Learning Environments) and everyone it seems, wants to know what they are, what they contain, or if they will replace current institutional VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) or LMS (Learning Management System) provision. No one seems to be able to agree on what a PLE is. I've heard several people complain recently that they can't find enough published research in the area of PLEs either. I simply point them in the direction of the... Read Full Story
In both developing and developed countries, more organizations are adopting learning tools such as online courses and LMS service to benefit disadvantaged sectors of society. Take Project Rising Women in Argentina, or Project SITA in India, and UCLA Extension in the U.S.; three projects with altruistic and effective programs.
Rising Women is an Argentine nonprofit that works with a women’s shelter on the edge of the largest ghetto in Buenos Aires, providing a computer technology center... Read Full Story
A comment linked from http://www.knownet.com/writing/weblogs/Graham_Attwell/entries/6521819364 Blind alleys indeed. We all have PLEs, some are more efficient and effective than others. For most of us they are principally wetware; the processes and taxonomies and structures in our minds that organise what we know and what we learn.
The PLE concept aims at externalising some of these, makes them more explicit, more shareable, helps us to understand how and perhaps why we organise things... Read Full Story
The first time I prepared this for an entry on our doctoral discussion forum , I constructed it inside Moodle (our discussion environment; its horrible), attached the file, pushed the upload button only to lose it in hyperspace when my Internet connection crashed. It was important enough to me to rework the piece, however and so here it is.I will now and forever construct in Word and then paste to Moodle. I wonder how many times I have to learn this before it becomes a habit?
The... Read Full Story

I think that folks who are in the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) space have a much better idea of what will come next. In fact, many of us have all created our own Personal Learning Environment by cobbling together using a variety of tools (RSS Reader, Bookmarking, Social Networking, Desktop Search, Web Search, Personal Learning Blog, To Do Lists). I'm not 100% sure that we've quite got this right, but it's certainly much more meaningful... Read Full Story
