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?

THE EXPERIENCE (III)
Some words about the initial iPLE
ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES
