THE EXPERIENCE (I)

Research questions How does an iPLE interact with personal

knowledge management? Can an iPLE facilitate the personal organization of

the students’ knowledge? Which methodologies are more appropriate for

the integrated use of an iPLE in a LMS? How does the use of an iPLE modify the didactical

interactions? What is the teacher's role in the use of an iPLE? What are the pedagogical principles that new open

environments might follow?

Is it possible to isolate the impact of usability from the impact of content quality (or potentially other factors) on learning efficacy? Why?

If yes, how?
