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.

This continues the discussion being had around PLE/PWLEs - see More Discussion on Personal Work Learning Environments for a bit of recap. Clearly this is a different use of PLE's than those outside the firewall, for free rangers, and for learning from everything of personal interest. Stephen tells us. Just do it.

One more thing worth mentioning is learner tracking. A comprehensive reporting suite allows for training staff to recognize learner improvement and also sees which users are falling behind. This platform gives learners a lot of agency in their education, as they can construct their own personal learning environment (PLE).

Informal and self regulated learning are defining characteristics of 21 st Century education. Various commentators suggest that as much as seventy percent of learning occurs outside of formal educational settings (Cofer, 2000; Dobbs, 2000; Cross, 2006). The central tenet of heutagogy is that people inherently know how to learn.

I believe we are poised to see this happen in the world of the Learning Management Systems (LMS). I think that folks who are in the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) space have a much better idea of what will come next. The tracking is not for me as a learner. So, they've supplanted the low-end of the market.
