This document discusses leveraging Web 2.0 tools to establish a collaborative personal learning environment (PLE). It explores challenges in PLEs like information overload and ensuring quality contributions. It proposes using RSS feeds, tagging, wikis, and social bookmarking to help with knowledge classification, navigation, and overload. The document also examines using authoring platforms and competency tracking to support mass content creation and development in PLEs. Overall, it analyzes how Web 2.0 can help knowledge workers set up sustainable collaborative PLEs.

39. Key Observations PKM values and competencies are directly related to organisational performance PKM is rapidly gaining interest but most of the existing frameworks are still based on the traditional Web Web 2.0 and social software enable knowledge workers to set up a PLE/VLE in a pervasive and ubiquitous environment Quality of knowledge, sustainability of contributions, mass authoring & ability to combat information overload are crucial Significant research is still needed for ‘fusing’ personal and enterprise knowledge
