3. Personal Learning Environments - a concept based on Web 2 .0
and social software.
Web 2.0:
"A perceived second-generation of Web-based services
such as social networking sites, wikis, communication
tools, and folksonomies that emphasize online
collaboration and sharing among users"
4. learning network is a group of persons who create,
share, support and study learning resources (“units of
learning”) in a specific knowledge domain.
5. “Personal Learning Environments are systems that help
learners take control of and manage their own learning.
This includes providing support for learners to:
* set their own learning goals
* manage their learning; managing both content and
process
* communicate with others in the process of learning
and thereby achieve learning goals.”

9. Stage 1 Immersion
Create any and all networks you can find where there are
people and ideas to connect to.
Stage 2 Evaluation
Evaluate your networks and start to focus in on which
networks you really want to focus your time on.
Stage 3 Know it all
Realize there is much you do not know and feel like you can’t
disconnect.
10. Stage 4 Perspective
Usually comes when you are forced to leave the network
for awhile and spend time with family and friends who
are not connected.
Stage 5 Balance
Understanding that you can not know it all, and begin
to understand that you can rely on your network to
learn and store knowledge for you.

12. Persistence
“The reflective posting of a blog are a digital record of
the learning process. They can be an integral part of
the lifelong learning accomplishment and e-portfolio
of the learner. They should not disappear at the end of
a course.”
13. Identity
“Learners have existences beyond formal school, that can
be used to both help learners contextualize their own
understanding and for others to understand their
epistemological legacy. The PLE tools integrate this outside
life with formal study.”
“Copyright and re-use: Contributions to a PLE are very
definitely owned by the learner and thus can be used and
re-used as that owner sees fit.” - Terry Anderson.
More and more, we will see students – and not instructors
or publishers – authoring learning resources.
16. Generally refers to a professional network service, a
virtual community that it is focused on professional
interactions instead of social interactions.
17. We don't.
By embracing a Web 2.0 approach to learning objects,
we can allow academic staff to support learners on a
much more individual basis through new
communication channels.
