Excellent exploration of a PLE and how it may or may not integrate with a formal institutionally based and managed VLE (through a school or employer perhaps?) and how the learner needs to own his/her PLE for lifelong and portable learning. Acknowledges the eportfolio that a school might provide a learner (but this can be set up and managed by learner as a formative and summative device).

All kinds of PLE/PLN schematics--have had this in my library but could not share it with WLStudio group until now (technical problem)

Wonderful resource to explain the different kinds of learning environments on a broad scale--now how does it look for an individual creating his/her own PLE?

Authors did an opening exercise at a conference in 2010 to force choices by educators on organizationally controlled vs. individually controlled PLEs. It clear that the shift is toward individualized learning supported/guided by educators side by side not in front of the learner. Excerpt "To help them in this endeavour, institutions have an important role as guides (not leaders) that have to trespass their own walls and enter the environments (in plural) where learning actually takes place, which increasingly is outside of the framework of formality. In fact, this seems to be answering at the WHAT question: what is learning in the digital era? The rest of pairs (Openness and the Barriers) seem to be pointing at the HOW question: how should learning be carried on in the digital era?. The answer seems to be open and flexible institutions, new educational systems and methodologies and a dire organizational change."
