Since we first decided upon Moodle as our vle, training as a means of getting it out there to staff was clearly going to be of some priority. You may be thinking what about Gold, and indeed there has always been a Gold offering, which focuses on such things as eLearning, Learning Objects etc. Well moving as we are toward a major 2.4

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.

For my own part working as I do with the Moodle, it was a little disappointing to see only one stand promoting the vle, though there were other vle systems on offer, so competition is good right. Bye for now and please feel free to comment on the show

Originally a counterpoint to the institutional Managed Learning Environment (iMLE or 'VLE'), PLEs are becoming a much talked about concept, and were the prime focus of the recently held PLE Conference in Cornella, Barcelona. Now it's time to change direction a little and challenge the unhelpful binary of PLE versus VLE.

Just into a new round of vle training in Moodle. The problem appeared to be that if staff were slow to take up use of the vle fairly soon following the training, they seemed to loose confidence and I found them returning to the course again the next term or later. We have now completed the rollout and trials.

Since I posted the ' Two fingered salute ' earlier this week several people have asked me what I meant by 'personal web'. The report goes on to define personal webs as self created and consisting of online tools that suit each individual's unique preferences, styles and needs. The two are not to be confused. Sound like a PLE?
