This time it's personal

Learning with e's

#EDENchat Up close and personal

Learning with e's

There were posts about the Anatomy of PLEs , their functionality , their role as a counterpoint to the institutional Learning Management System, and also their relationship to MOOCs and Connectivism. We were all excited about the potential of PLEs, their subversive nature and their inherent informality. Unported License.
