The e-learning application, therefore, begins to look very much like a
blogging tool. It represents one node in a web of content, connected to
other nodes and content creation services used by other students. It
becomes, not an institutional or corporate application, but a personal
learning center, where content is reused and remixed according to the
student's own needs and interests. It becomes, indeed, not a single
application, but a collection of interoperating applications---an
environment rather than a system.
Sabine Reisas on 29 Sep 11Abstract: "The influence of digital technologies as well as the World Wide Web on education rises dramatically. In former years Learning Management Systems (LMS) were introduced on educational institutes to address the needs both their institutions and their lecturers. Nowadays a shift from an institution-centred approach to a learner-centred one becomes necessary to allow individuality through the learning process and to think about learning strategies in general. In this paper a first approach of a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is described. The technological concept is pointed out as well as a study about the graphical user-interface done at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz). It can be concluded that PLEs are the next generation environments, which help to improve the learning and teaching behaviour."
