The #JuneEdTechChallenge continues, and today is the ‘most used EdTech acronym’ I think I’ll follow on from yesterday’s question (‘ the VLE in my life… ‘) and say the most used EdTech acronym is … VLE.

I was immediately interested because, like me, Mott is striving to bridge the gap between the organisation’s LMS and the learner’s PLE. While the ILE is designed to bridge the gap between the LMS and the PLE, it purposefully keeps them apart. The OLN compared. The OLN takes a different approach. Digging deeper.

The personal learning environment (PLE) is still a bone of contention. Over at the Open University of Catalonia, in Barcelona, Ismael Peña-López has been doing some stirling work on theories surrounding Vygotsky's learning model and PLEs. For me, the PLE is peculiar to the individual who makes it.

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.

Since then, Steve Wheeler’s thought-provoking article Anatomy of a PLE has prompted me to extend my argument a little further. A Formal Learning Environment (FLE) which manages that learning. In my previous article Online courses must die! I advocated the development of Informal Learning Environments (ILEs).

I'm hoping to address questions such as: How do you create a personal tool set or Personal Learning Environment (PLE) for yourself? This sounds a lot like a personal learning environment, personal knowledge management (PKM) and personal work and learning environment (PWLE) and PIM. What should be in your tool set?

There has been a lot of talk recently about PLEs (Personal Learning Environments) and everyone it seems, wants to know what they are, what they contain, or if they will replace current institutional VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) or LMS (Learning Management System) provision. No one seems to be able to agree on what a PLE is.

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.

The first panel member, Steve Wheeler , will argue that many VLEs are not fit for purpose, and masquerade as solutions for the management of online learning. The second member of the panel, Graham Attwell , believes that the VLE is dead and that the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is the solution to the needs of diverse learners.

The concept of Learning Management System (LMS) was wrongly named. Better fit for a name would be Teaching Management System or Institution Control System. Call them Personal Learning Environments (PLE) if you want but the key issue here is that they are based on user-centric design. Quite true.

Graham Attwell will probably talk the most sense, providing a real alternative - the PLE.

It's a bit of an oxymoron because I don't think you can, or should manage something that is self organised, unless you are the person who is self organising. That's it for now. I'm off to hear the keynote.
