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. And they are not, therefore, PLEs.

I just saw a post by George Siemens discussing evolution of PLE concept and pointed me to two posts by Chris Lott based on his initial question - "What does your PLE look like?" - Tired of PLE Flak and I'm not interested in the PLE which then pointed me to a bunch of other posts as well - on the PLE and An audit on where stand with PLEs.

I thought I'd kick off this year by posting a series of posts on topics related to tools and methods for work and learning. I'm hoping to address questions such as: How do you create a personal tool set or Personal Learning Environment (PLE) for yourself? What should be in your tool set? What is a Tool Set?

However, getting people to use the tools is a bigger challenge than IT lockdown. Other models for PKM.

It follows that the tools and technologies you use for learning are those you have selected to use because you are (or should be) comfortable with them, personally. These tools, services and technologies become a part of your personal learning environment or PLE. The PLE is an approach rather than a technology.

I was immediately interested because, like me, Mott is striving to bridge the gap between the organisation’s LMS and the learner’s PLE. He articulates his position as such: “…a one-or-the-other choice between the two is a false choice between knowledge-dissemination technologies and community-building tools.

Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) are made up of more than web tools. Twitter, Facebook and other social networking tools are simply the means through which I do it. But as I have tried to articulate in earlier blogposts , my PLE is more than people and tools.

We all use tools to help us learn. Personal learning environments or PLEs, are the collection of tools (not just online) that enable us to connect, create and share content with our own communities of interest and practice. In other words, do they have the ability to use the loose aggregation of Web 2.0 It's quite simple.

This is reminiscent of the discussions held at the recent PLE conference in Barcelona, where some theorists attempted to defuse the tensions between didactic institutional provision and individualised PLEs by proposing a compromise. An institutional PLE? Sounds like two worlds are about to collide. Impossible or feasible?

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? It is this: Not everyone has the skills to use, or is willing to use the web tools that are referred to above.

Martin's prediction about a move towards loosely coupled teaching tools has examples in practice today. Let me explain: PLE. a set of tools that the learners enjoy full control on and choice of. The tools within a PLE are most likely not used for the purpose of formal education of all learners within an educational institution.

A lot of people don't like the name 'Web 2.0', because of its connotations, and some have tried to rename it. At the VLE is Dead symposium , there was an issue over the term PLE (Personal Learning Environment). Trying to take something like Web 2.0, or the PLE and rename will be a little more difficult, I predict.

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. Social technologies are different. Blogs and wikis are already being implemented by learners themselves. I'm not sure what he means by "they are based on user-centric design" but the idea is right.

The reality is that what we did on the Work Literacy course or what I did for my Collaborative Learning Course could easily be supported by the various types of web parts within SharePoint. This is similar to support for courses and much of the web parts used, follow-up techniques, etc. These would be external consituents.

However, the "what's next" question has become more challenging recently as we've seen the rapid growth of simple and easy to deploy tools displacing more complex systems. 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.

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.
