Since I posted the ' Two fingered salute ' earlier this week several people have asked me what I meant by 'personal web'. I was also asked why I didn't use the term PLE (Personal Learning Environment). Sound like a PLE? The two are not to be confused. Almost, but not quite.

At the VLE is Dead symposium , there was an issue over the term PLE (Personal Learning Environment).

Dan's article is entitled: ' Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs): here to stay, or on the brink of demise? ' It is a provocative take on the current state of play of the VLE, and he comes to some interesting conclusions. Recent literature and personal blogs are used to understand how the VLE as a concept is understood.
