Personal LearningEnvironments (PLEs) do exactly what they say on the can - they are personal to each individual, created by them, owned by them, used by them within their lifelong learning. Essentially, we argue that students require structure and scaffolding when they first venture into digital learningenvironments.
Students will use Facebook when they want to, and their institutional managedlearningenvironment when they have to. Social networking sites and online media sharing sites are also enjoying exponential increases in membership, leading to the supposition that this generation is a profoundly connected generation.
Sometimes, the technology does get in the way of learning and teaching. Let me give you an example: Many schools, colleges and universities have by now implemented a managedlearningenvironment (MLE) sometimes referred to as a virtual learningenvironment (VLE) or LearningManagement System (LMS).
The #JuneEdTechChallenge continues, and today is the ‘most used EdTech acronym’ I think I’ll follow on from yesterday’s question (‘ the VLE in my life… ‘) and say the most used EdTech acronym is … VLE.
They have to spend time thinking about how to get to a discussion group, or how to save content, when their energy and time should be spent learning. Some platforms are better than others of course, but generally many institutional managedlearningenvironments suffer from the same problem - opacity.
I have managed many meaningful conversations with students about their work through this method, both during lessons and also post-lecture, but it''s clearly not for everyone. However, bear in mind that most VLEs have online discussion threads that all of the group can see and read.
The Social Web challenges current provision There is a sense from many younger students that the institutional managedlearningenvironments are not popular tools, because they fail in comparison to the more colourful, flexible and accessible social networking tools that are available for free on the internet.
These become personal windows on the world, enabling them to drill down and investigate for themselves, the finer details of content they need to learn. Personal learningenvironments reach beyond the technologies institutions provide - especially virtual learningenvironments/managedlearningenvironments.
Mobile includes on/off synch; Learning Enviroment scored (95%), compliance feature set is good. Big wins include certificate management, instructor area and classroom management, learningenvironment and UI/UX for learner and administrator. Under the radar system, hopefully this will change. #27

What binds this diverse group together is the necessity for personalized learning experiences and streamlined management tailored to individual requirements. That’s why we’re thrilled to roll out our new feature: User Groups.
I have always believed in a hybrid solution and indeed use one in my own professional practice, but for the sake of the polemic momentum, I'm advocating that institutions seriously reappraise their use of the VLE (read 'managedlearningenvironment').
I am against the sterile, meaningless ManagedLearningEnvironments (read BlackBoard, SharePoint and yes, even Moodle) that universities and colleges push which are purpose built to maintain strict control. They constrain the use of materials, and ensure that only bona fide students are allowed in.

Punk learning (some would call it Edupunk ) reflects that seventies music ethos. For some time, educators have been subverting established methods and turning their backs on institutional tools and technologies such as the managedlearningenvironment (also known as LMS or VLE).
I think that ManagedLearningEnvironments are like Pompeii. Secondly, the new generation of social networking students don't want or need to be managed. They are doomed, because firstly, everything that you pay to do on an MLE can be done outside, on the web, for free.
