In his post, he really is looking primarily at the University of Manitoba's Connectivism Course that he designed and delivered with George Siemens to 2200 students in Fall 2008 and you can tell that he's busy thinking about the technology behind the Fall 2009 course. Stephen goes through a great description of the course.

Why should we question whether students have the competency to build their own PLEs, when in fact most learners already have their own PLE structure of tools sorted out when they arrive at university. Do they have the prerequisite skills to apply these tools in a manner that gives them an advantage in their course of study?

So the PLE conversation has been, for me, framed in terms of the LMS and tools. How do you make an LMS into a PLE? And it started dawning on me that the PLE was about a revolution in learning -- about teaching people to learn -- about empowering individuals to take control of their own learning environments, their futures.

Doing so of course, they fall into exactly the same trap, because the alternative names - such as 'social web' and 'read/write web' - only tend to create certain expectations around those tools which may be unrealistic, and can also limit our imagination too. or the PLE and rename will be a little more difficult, I predict.

They still require you to think and act in terms of "course" and "training" which is slowly becoming the wrong way to think.

It is up to each individual to, therefore, forge personal ties to colleagues and co-workers, and subsequently leverage those connections once a formal course or learning event has concluded.
