The personal learning environment (PLE) is still a bone of contention. Over at the Open University of Catalonia, in Barcelona, Ismael Peña-López has been doing some stirling work on theories surrounding Vygotsky's learning model and PLEs. For me, the PLE is peculiar to the individual who makes it.

One more thing worth mentioning is learner tracking. A comprehensive reporting suite allows for training staff to recognize learner improvement and also sees which users are falling behind. This platform gives learners a lot of agency in their education, as they can construct their own personal learning environment (PLE).

Two papers reporting on research into the implementation of personal learning environments using social media provide a little controversy for the special issue. The first, by Valjataga and Laanpere, focuses on learner control of the environment, and how it poses a challenge for instructional design. An institutional PLE?

Everyone has one - a personal learning environment, that is. We all learn. We all learn. 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.

I think that folks who are in the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) space have a much better idea of what will come next. I'm not 100% sure that we've quite got this right, but it's certainly much more meaningful to me as a learner than an LMS. The tracking is not for me as a learner.

The trick is to maintain an intrinsic motivation that is just as strong as if one were still learning informally. This is one reason, I think, why personal learning environments (which tend to heavily represent informal learning approaches and are intrinsically motivated) are assuming an ever increasing importance in education.
