Personal Learning

environment

Open Learning Environment

1

“Software that lets people rendezvous, connect or collaborate by use of a computer network”

(Attwell, 2007)

2

. “A PLE is a single user’s e-learning system that provides access to a variety of learning resources”

(Harmelen, 2006)

Learning Contexts:

Social networks

Knowledge bases:

Work contexts

3

4

Access without the internet

CHALLENGES TO PERSONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Organization Skills

Competent Technical Skills

Co-existence between new and old systems

Access to hardware and software

5

Open Learning Environments:

“Instructional systems in which many facets of the learning process are under the control of the learner.”

(Open learning, n.d.)

LEARNER FLEXIBILITY

Flexibility in study situations

Learner mobility

Independence of time and space

Space for Creative and Flexible Learning

6

LEARNER CENTERED CONTROL OF LEARNING

What -

When-

Where-

Learning Portfolios

LIMITATIONS

Independent Learning Competency

Expert

•Giver of information

Facilitator

•Director and trouble shooter

Equal Member

•Support provider and evaluator.

Pervasive Learning means working together for independence.
