Personal Learning Environments - a
concept based on Web 2 .0 and social software
![Page 3: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
We are at present undergoing a deep and prolonged industrial
revolution based on digital technologies
![Page 4: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The reform and reshaping of social
systems and institutions has tended to lag behind in periods of rapid technological
change
![Page 5: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Profound innovations in technology tend to be reflected
in older paradigms
![Page 6: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
for example the ‘virtual classroom’ or the ‘Virtual Learning Environment’
![Page 7: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The challenge
![Page 8: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It is not the development of
technology per se which poses such a
challenge to education systems
and educational institutions
![Page 9: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
but the changing ways in which people are using
technologies to communicate and to learn and the
accompanying social effect of such use
![Page 10: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

forming and participating in on-line social networks and communities
![Page 14: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The reaction of education systems and institutions to the rise of social networking has been at best
bewilderment, at worst downright hostility
![Page 15: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
a refusal to engage in these issues risks school becoming increasingly irrelevant to the everyday lives of many young
people
![Page 16: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
and particularly irrelevant to the ways in which
they communicate and share knowledge
![Page 17: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Web 2.0 allows young people to
be active co-creators of knowledge
![Page 18: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We have to review the industrial schooling model including the organisation of institutions and
pedagogy and curriculum
![Page 19: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
It is not just young people who use social software
for learning
![Page 20: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Social software is widely used in
the workplace for informal learning
![Page 21: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Most informal learning is learner driven, problem based, or
motivated by interest
![Page 22: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Google is the most used e-learning application
![Page 23: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
most learning is unaccredited
![Page 24: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
people learn through legitimate peripheral
participation
![Page 25: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Knowing is .... located in relations among
practitioners, their practice, the artefacts of
that practice, and the social organization…of
communities of practice
Lave and Wenger, 1991
![Page 26: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Lurking is a means of becoming integrated in distributed communities
of practice
![Page 27: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In such communities of practice formal learning materials are
seldom used
![Page 28: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
We have ignored the vast potential of freely available ‘objects’ of all kinds for
learning purposes.
![Page 29: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
changes in the way in which we learn and develop new competences is a challenge to our traditional
subject organisation
![Page 30: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
And although most countries have adopted a rhetoric of lifelong learning,
there is little sign that education systems have sufficiently changed to
facilitate such a movement.
![Page 31: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The answers?
![Page 32: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How can we support lifelong
competence development?
![Page 33: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Personal Learning Environments
have the potential to meet such a
challenge
![Page 34: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
PLEs are not another substantiation of
educational technology but a new approach to
learning
![Page 35: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
A response to pedagogic approaches which require that learner’s e-learning systems
need to be under the control of the learners themselves.
![Page 36: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
and recognise the needs of life-long learners for a system that provides a standard
interface to different institutions’ e-learning systems, and that allows portfolio information
to be maintained across institutions.
![Page 37: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Learning is now seen as multi episodic, with
individuals spending
occasional periods of formal
education and training
throughout their working life.
![Page 38: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
PLE are based on the idea that learning will take
place in different contexts and situations and will not
be provided by a single learning provider
![Page 39: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
the idea of a Personal Learning Environment
recognises that learning is continuing and seeks to
provide tools to support that learning
![Page 40: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Using whatever tools and devices which the learners
choose
![Page 41: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
It also recognises the role of the individual in organising their own
learning
![Page 42: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
PLEs can help in the recognition of informal learning
![Page 43: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
PLEs can develop on the potential of services
oriented architectures for dispersed and
networked forms of learning and knowledge
development.
![Page 44: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
“the heart of the concept of the PLE is that it is a tool that allows a learner (or anyone) to engage in a distributed
environment consisting of a network of people, services and resources. It is not just Web 2.0, but it is certainly
Web 2.0 in the sense that it is (in the broadest sense possible) a read-write
application.”Stephen Downes, 2006
![Page 45: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The promise of Personal Learning Environments
could be to extend access to educational
technology to everyone who wishes to organise
their own learning.
![Page 46: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The ‘pedagogy’ behind the PLE – if it could be still
called that – is that it offers a portal to the world,
through which learners can explore and create,
according to their own interests and directions,
interacting at all times with their friends and
community
![Page 47: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
the PLE will challenge the existing education systems
and institution
![Page 48: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
New forms of learning are
based on trying things and
action, rather than on more
abstract knowledge.
![Page 49: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Policies to support the development and
implementation of PLEs
![Page 50: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
encouraging and supporting the development of
communities of practice and engagement in those communities
![Page 51: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
decisions over funding and support need to be
taken as close to practice as possible
![Page 52: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
a broader understanding of
digital literacy and its integration
within the curriculum s
![Page 53: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
recognise different forms and contexts
of learning
![Page 54: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
the development and adoption of new pedagogies
![Page 55: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
the co-shaping of technologies bringing together techies and teachers, enterprises
and institutions
![Page 56: Personal learning enviroments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5549f789b4c9055b7a8b46f2/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
