Suzanne Brazzell on 01 May 11The difference between NLEs and PLEs (Personal Learning Environments), OLEs (Online Learning Environments), ONLEs (Open Network Learning Environments), and OLNs (Online or Open Learning Networks). NLEs, ONLEs, and OLN are much the same. While PLEs and OLEs may be a different concept. Online Learning Environments, for most of us formal learners has been based around course management system (CMS or LMS). These systems have been secure and only available during semester months for communication, publication, and collaboration and where only students and faculty assigned to the course had access to. It was a recreation of the traditional face-to-face class that we were all so familiar with growing up instead of a collaborative learning environment that Web 2.0 has allowed for us to participate in. One solution to the problems of CMSs was the personal learning environment (PLE). PLE helps to manage information, create content, and connect with others. An example of PLE is iGoogle. The NLE would be a bridge or connection between the two mediums: CMSs and PLEs.

Common Question II: Key Instructional Strategies Please discuss how you integrate the required ONLE instructional strategies (Social network, social tagging, participatory web, UGC, and Community-Community interaction).
-
I integrated discussion via a wiki, sharing content through creating a web and sharing content and tagging utilizing Dippity. This was my main struggle in this assignment because not all of the strategies you had listed are appropriate for my grade level. Not only that but I tried to be realistic on what they could do in our district. While NAU might be forward thinking enough to utilize and have access to multiple web tools most districts do not.

Common Question III: Evaluations Discuss how do you know your integrated ONLE instructional strategies effective? Remember assessing content is different from assessing instructional strategies.
-
The way I would know if my strategies were effective were the connections that they students made. The discussion content would be interactive. Basically the reason for utilizing an ONLE is for the students to gain higher order learning skills. Therefore even though we aren't looking at assessing content if they students are taking the content to places where they couldn't of on their own then you know that they have achieved the goals that an online network learning can provide.
