• The tools used to learn must also evolve• VLE as a mean to support and make evolve
subjects100% of the universities have an VLE79,5% of the big companies use this learning
toolsVLE don’t provide the expected benefits

Introduction (IV)
• PLEStudent-centered contexts that integrate any
tool, service, content involved in eLearning process
Learning responsibility will be in the studentsNew tools can be included in the learning
process and Lifelong learning will be taken into account
VLE can’t be discarded Integration between the VLE and the PLE will
be necessary

Integration tendencies (I)
• Integration is not an easy taskDificulty to include interoperability standarsThe integration of training activities in the PLE
are difficultProblems of traceabilitySingle sign-on implementationSecurity problems

Integration tendencies (and II)
• 3 posible scenariosNo integrationOpening the VLE
• Web services and Interoperability specifications• Institutional problems to allow the openness• Communication use to be in one specific direction
Integration of external tools• Problems related to the integration of tools with other
tools and contexts• The user has no freedom to decide what tools to use• There exist several initiatives starting from scratch
• Second and third scenarios must be mergerd

Integration approach (I)
• Our solution is based on Formal or institutional environment = VLE = Moodle 2.0 Informal environment = PLE Communication ways Specification integration
• What is a PLE for us Non technological perspective
• Learning environment focused on the user and customizable, which will combine all the tools, services, opinions, people, resources and activities that are useful in the learning process. This environment should take into account the different training modalities, facilitate lifelong learning and allow the integration of new technologies
Technological perspective• Integration framework that incorporates 2.0 technologies, supports
interaction with other learning contexts, facilitates interoperability with other existing systems and provides monitoring systems for learner’s activity.

Conclusions
• eLearning must evolve taking the student into account
• Informal activity must be taken into account• PLE can solve this situation, but without
replacing the VLE Integration is neededDifferent integration sceneriesConstraints established by the specification
• Future work, extend the specification
