  Summary: In this article, Ray Archee, of the University of Western Sydney, Australia explores the possible effects, both good and bad, that Personal Learning Environments (PLE's) will have on higher education and asserts that the effects will be rather Faustian-a surge towards online learning environments and a reduction in traditional face-to-face pedagogy. Given that PLE's are generally less structured and more informal than traditional learning environments, Archee predicts that there will be a loss of employment in higher education. PLE's may also introduce various social issues because students have the capability of publishing critical content that damages the institution or its courses, other students, and faculty. Ultimately, higher education must adapt to being more critical of what it allows as acceptable PLE's and face the consequences of such a choice as a medium for e-learning.
