Clearly this is a different use of PLE's than those outside the firewall, for free rangers, and for learning from everything of personal interest. Stephen tells us.

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).
