With the Southampton PLE Conference #PLE_SOU at full throttle, I thought it would be a good time to reiterate my views on the personal web. Personal Web Tools (PWTs) are thought by some to be synonymous with PLEs (Personal Learning Environments) but the two should not be confused. Sound like a PLE? Almost, but not quite.

Ray Sims has a great post on Personal Learning Environment and personal learning environments. What I am reaching for is an optimized environment for Learning AND a loosely-couple optimized environment for Doing. I agree with his overall goal, but I'm not sure I separate Learning and Doing. Ray goes on to say.

I am often skeptical about the many types of learning tools, e.g. social networking, e-learning, LMS, rapid e-learning, even PowerPoint, etc. In the adoption of tools and technologies in learning and training, many pundits fall victim to the same fallacy. Some examples are: 1.

Graham Attwell will probably talk the most sense, providing a real alternative - the PLE. The future of education is at stake, and the puncture wounds are everywhere to be seen: Students who are disengaged or bored with homogenous, bland content that sits in the 'Learning Management System'. The institutional VLE sucks.

At the VLE is Dead symposium , there was an issue over the term PLE (Personal Learning Environment). Some people objected to it being named as such, because they argue, the PLE is not a 'thing', but a concept or more accurately a counterpoint in the discourse of the VLE. Trying to take something like Web 2.0, representation.

Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development theory has long been revered by the education community as a model for describing what happens when we learn in social contexts. Graham has a problem with ZPD in that it implies the presence of a teacher or expert. The scaffolding removes the problem of needing a 'knowledgeable other'.

I called my tech guys, who did a stirling job trying to find out what the problem was. Proxy error or firewall problem. It's a movement against the commoditization of learning and against corporate profiteering. Rhizomatic approaches to learning fall into this kind of philosophy. The institutional network locked me out.

It doesn't make me any better or worse than anyone else, but it causes problems for the 'powers that be'.

This is a metaphor for personalised learning, with the personal learning environment supporting an individual's learning. To learn at this level of individualisation, the learner requires several things. They not only had to create the videos or image sets, but determine what exactly the learning outcomes were.
