The document proposes designing and developing a personal learning environment (PLE) to integrate with existing learning management systems (LMS) used in higher education. It outlines limitations of LMS in supporting learning beyond coursework and aims to address this by allowing learners more control over their learning through social software. The research will design a PLE prototype, identify types of social media that could be included, and evaluate the prototype to enhance e-learning and move beyond the boundaries of current institutional learning platforms.

Design and Development of Personal Learning Environment for Higher Education
- 1. Design and Development of Personal Learning Environment for Higher Education Research Proposal Presentation 10 November 2010
- 10. Contrasting LMS and PLE Essential Aspects LMS PLE Challenges 1 Role of learner Learner is only consumer of knowledge and highly dependent on the educator’s content for learning Learner is ‘prosumer’ (producer + consumer) of knowledge and educator acts as scaffold Self-regulation is essential to move from consumer role to prosumer 2 Personalization Organization of content is limited to the system functionality and preference of the educator Organization of content is flexible and to the preference of the individual learner Self-organization and competence of using tools 3 Content Developed by the educator or domain experts Consists of myriad source of knowledge from multiple sources in the Web Competence in searching and organizing appropriate sources 4 Social involvement Limited collaborative work and only focus on the closed learner group Community and social involvement is the key for learning process Community and collaboration as learning opportunities
- 11. Contrasting LMS and PLE (cont.) Essential Aspects LMS PLE Challenges 5 Ownership Controlled by the educational institutions Controlled by the learner or service providers Awareness of personal data 6 Educational & organizational culture Imitation of classroom learning, coursework focused and educator oriented Focus on self-regulated learner Change of learning culture and perspective 7 Technological aspects Classical learning content management interoperability between LMS and database Social software and aggregation of multiple sources Interoperability between LMS and social software
Editor's Notes
- Research interest – social computing in education Research titled at …
- In a typical learning environment, e-learning is used to facilitate interaction beyond the lecture hall between educators and learners. However, in reality, the interaction is very much limited within the existing e-learning platform and in most cases; it is under utilized to achieve its educational goal to increase the learner’s learning experience.
- Ideally, PLE provides a learning environment (with integration of social software) that support learners to make their own decision in directing their learning experience.
- PLE promotes scaffolding and active learning where educators provide scaffold tasks and it is up to the learners how to achieve the tasks (McLoughlin and Lee, 2007). The major components of PLE should include social computing aspects which allow the creation of appropriate learning environment using social software. PLE encourages knowledge construction, collaboration, communication and social networking between learners, their peers and the experts (including the educators).
- In general, social computing represents a collection of web applications or technologies which we usually refer as Web 2.0 or social software.
- Design research comprises a set of techniques to design and create artifacts to further understand, explain and enhance on particularly the behavior aspects of IS. The output of design research is the artifacts (generally, system)
