2. Unlike your classroom, your Personal Learning
Network (PLN) is available to you seven days a
week, 24 hours a day. It consists of all of the
educational sites that you join to have discussions
with other educators and find classroom resources.

4. Personal Learning Environments (PLE) 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.

5. A PLE is NOT:
A specific software application
A method for creating e-learning applications
6. A PLE is :
• A concept (based on Web 2.0 and social
network) rather than specific software
• A group of techniques and a variety of tools:
– to gather information
– explore/develop relationships between
pieces of information
– browser-based (potentially)

8. An environment where you access learning
from a variety of sources.
A place where you do your own work. It’s not
dependent on the university/school.
A collection of tools and systems, not a single
monolithic system.

well as individual pieces of
information
Create a personal repository of

12. PLEs building laid the foundations of
some main ideas:
learning is an on-going process and tools to
support this learning are needed
the role of the individual in self-organizing
learning is important
learning can take place in different contexts
and situations and cannot be provided by a
single learning provider.

that you join to have discussions with

You can participate in scheduled chats on
Twitter, write and comment on

18. Not only will you gain valuable pedagogical
knowledge.
You will be able to bounce your own teaching
ideas off of peers and administrators.
19. Self organised
learning
We cannot ‘manage’
self-organised
learning for our
students.
We can only
create conducive
environments
within which
students will
organise their own
learning.

21. Rather than integrating different services into a
centralized system, the idea is to provide the
learner with a plethora of different services and
hand over control to her to select, use, and mash
up the services the way she deems fit.
A PLE driven approach does not only provide
personal spaces, which belong to and are
controlled by the user, but also requires a social
context by offering means to connect with other
personal spaces for effective knowledge sharing
and collaborative knowledge creation.
Murphy, K etl.
22. PLEs are not another substantiation of educational
technology but a new approach to learning.
A response to pedagogic approaches which require that
learner’s e-learning systems need to be under the control of
the learners themselves.
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
The idea of a Personal Learning Environment recognises
that learning is continuing and seeks to provide tools to
support that learning

23. The ‘pedagogy’ behind the PLE 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
New forms of learning are based on trying
things and action, rather than on more abstract
knowledge.
