http://flickr.com/photos/tommyellis/874772850/ Strengthen our flexible learning approach through personalised learning support (2006) CQU has a long established reputation as a specialist in distance education delivery, including being designated a Distance Education Centre by the Commonwealth Government. We have received much appreciated Commonwealth support over the years for a number of flexible learning initiatives ….. CQU intend to build on our history of expertise as a leader in the area of distributed learning and we have developed an Information Technology in Learning and Teaching (ILiLT) Plan to take our distributed learning to the next level - a personalised learning environment (PLE). Many Australian universities have implemented learning management systems and created virtual learning environments, however, as a leader in this field CQU desires to scope the next generation of learning, PLE, for our students.

This approach has the potential to give institutional teaching and learning systems greater efficacy and agility by making use of the many free or inexpensive—but useful—tools like blogs proliferating on the Internet and to liberate institutional computing staff and resources for other efforts. http://www-cdn.educause.edu/eli/guidetoblogging/13558
