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). For those who don't, the institutional VLE (or perhaps no web based use at all) is an option. The two are not to be confused.

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.

Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) do exactly what they say on the can - they are personal to each individual, created by them, owned by them, used by them within their lifelong learning. Some argued strongly for sole student ownership, vehemently opposed to any institutional meddling in a personal learning environment.

Anyone with a modicum of insight will see that there are several parallels here with the battle between the institutional VLE and Edupunk style ‘do-it-yourselves’ personal web tools. The personal web by contrast, moves along lightly at the pace of its users, being directed as changes and personal needs dictate.

A typical VLE is designed to support formal academic courses, whether face-to-face, online or blended. It tracks progress and completion in order to update personal development plans, competency databases and compliance records. But the nature of those resources and activities is typically very different.
