PERSONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND
NETWORK.
• WHAT IS PERSONAL LEARNING NETWORK?
• WHY DO WE HAVE TO INCORPORATE THIS TO OUR EDUACTIONAL SYSTEM?
• HOW CAN P.L.E AND P.L.N HELP TO TRANSFORM KNOWLEDGE?
• WHAT ARE THE FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH P.L.E AND P.L.N’S?
• THESES ARE ALL QUESTIONS WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES AND ADDITIONALLY
WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH ANSWERS THAT ARE INNOVATIVE AND PROMOTE
CRITICAL THINKING.
• SO THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION WILL DISCUSS AND EXPLAIN ALL THE
FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH PERSONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND IT WILL
FURTHER DISCUSS HOW PLE LEADS ONE TO DEVELOP HIS/HER OWN PERSONAL
OR PROFESSIONAL LEARNIG NETWORK.
WHAT IS A PLE?• A Personal Learning Environment (PLE)
is a facility for an individual to
aggregate, manipulate and share digital
artefacts of their on going learning
experiences.
• The PLE follows a learner-centric
approach, allowing the use of lightweight
services and tools that belong to and are
controlled by individual learners.
• This allows learners to critically evaluate
and construct knowledge. In addition this
helps to produce learners which will be
innovative in applying the use of
technology in the work place.

P.L.E allows Access to…..
• One-to-one computing such as the Maine laptop project,
now spreading rapidly
• One Laptop per Child This means everyone should
Have access to basic computer
Skills.
• Wireless access3G networks, WLAN… this should be used
to
Conduct research and search for new
information
• Of relationship and connections among peers and knowledge
• Of own opportunity for value-created involvement
I
Aware
• In engaging in informal knowledge exchange
• In revising/extending competence development objectives
II
Interested
• In individual or collaborative learning
• In social and knowledge network activities
• In pro-actively contributing own insights and expertise
III

- To subject mater
- To peers and educators
- To another professionals

THIS DIAGRAM SHOWS
ALL THE STEPS THAT
ONE SHOULD ATTAIN IN
DEVELPING A PLE.
PLE CHARACTERISTICS• Supporting learners in planning an controlling their learning journey
• Setting their own learning goals
• Monitoring their progress towards achieving these goals
• Managing their learning – both content and process
• Enabling learners to aggregate resources and personalise their learning environment
• Providing recommendations to learners about resources and other learners (‘study -buddies’)
Collaborating with others in the process of learning
• Providing support to learners for community building and collaborative activities. Moreover there should be a shared of learning experience instead of a lone study.
The Idea of the PLE…

Open Source Applications
• Learning Management Systems
such as Moodle, Sakai, Bodington, A Tutor
• Development and Community Tools
such as LAMS, Connexions, ELGG, Drupal,
WordPress
• Supporting Software
such as Firefox, Thunderbird,
Open Office, Audacity
Open Educational Resources
• MIT’s Open Course Ware projectand the Open Course Ware Consortium
• Open University’s Open Courses
• OER initiatives Hewlett, Welcome, OECD, UNESCO
• Creative Commons and CC materials in Flickr, Yahoo, Google, Wikipedia, Wikiversity, etc.

“…a form of knowledge and a pedagogy based on the idea that knowledge is distributed
across a network of connections and that learning consists of the ability to construct and
traverse those networks. “
PLEs are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning.
This includes providing support for learners to set their own learning goals, manage
their learning;
managing both content and process;
communicate with others in the process of learning and thereby achieve learning goals.

WHY PLN?
• Overcomes isolation of online teachers/learners
• Supports knowledge construction through distributed nodes and networks
• Empowers learners to become self-led, independent knowledge seekers and creators
• Allows customization of learning paths specific to individual interests or needs
• It’s fun and you can take it with you!
WHAT IS A PLN?
• A personal or professional learning network (PLN) involves an
individual’s topic-oriented goal, a set of practices & techniques aimed at
attracting and organizing a variety of relevant content sources, selected
for their value, to help the owner accomplish a professional goal or
personal interest.

Conclusion
• A model for PLE building is proposed
• Social networks contribute to the processes by which learners meet and communicate, and pool, share, learn about and reuse their resources, knowledge and competencies
• PLE building is found to be a core for PLN and PLN deployment
• The transition from PLE to PLN is an important step that supports students to become self-organized and life-long learners
