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.

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).

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.

But is it really that deeply personal? I was reading Jim Campbell's article on personalisation of learning again today.

I'm increasingly conscious of the blurring of boundaries between formal and informal learning contexts. We spend much of our time in formal settings such as classrooms, training rooms and 'on the job' training, to learn the stuff that gets accredited through academic or vocational qualifications bodies. Every learner has one.

When I first became involved in learning technology research in the early 1980s (it was called 'educational technology' in those days) personal computers were in their infancy, and multi-media was breaking as the next 'big thing' in education. Moving on into the 1990s, I began to get interested in distance education and open learning.
