A contribution to PLENK2010 from Alan Levine's CogDogBlog in which Alan wonders if his experience in using the informal setting of the Flickr 366 photographs group and Daily shoot has helped him learn to be a better photographer. Presents a review of an article from Hacker Monthly which introduces the notion of an "eigencourse": I'll need to seek that out!

I left the following comment on Alan's post -- "According to Google The prefix eigen is the German word for innate, distinct, self (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigen). In this context, the latter meaning might be most appropriate: an eigencourse is the presumably a "self course" or possibly an autodidactic course. It could also mean a self-tailored course as well I suppose." I know eigen from the linear matrix algebra concepts of eigenvectors and eigenvalues where the prefix means "distinct" or "characteristic@".

Graham Attwell This paper explores some of the ideas behind the Personal Learning Environment and considers why PLEs might be useful or indeed central to learning in the future. This is not so much a technical question as an educational one, although changing technologies are key drivers in educational change. (2007)

"A UAL graduate should be digitally mature learner, equipped with the critical faculties to create their own Personal Learning Environment (PLE) that will assist them to take advantage of the affordances of technology in their professional, personal and creative lives after UAL. The best way to develop this is through a culture of collaborative inquiry that explores the potential of digital scholarship through a range of authentic situated learning experiences that are relevant to the individuals' area of practice. They should be able to engage in 5 core competencies of curation, critique, creation, collaboration, and communication"

Why would anybody need some researchers and developers to work on a PLE for them? After all, we all know how easy it is for conglomerates to take over the development of tools and applications and transform them into a moneymaking machine, rather than the powerful and promising tools that they could be for the learner.

There is also research available to show how difficult it is for anybody to reach and access a deep level of information by using search engines. Self-directed networked learning stops with a commercial search engine or highly visible node on the network, whose interests might not be served by providing the learner with information far removed from its top search results or choice of displayed resources.

If you visit this site you'll see on the home page the famous Web2.0 tools image that has become a cliche in e-Learning presentations. Nonetheless, this comprehensive collection of free to use tools, curated by Paul, is a useful resource for people wishing to build a PLE or inform students what tools they might want to use in their own PLEs. Thanks to PLENK2010 link gopher @pgsimoes for tweeting this. It was new to me, but looking at the likes page not new to my colleagues at Swansea!

Another summary of week 1 reading and a thoughtful discussion of how one might make a PLE a more formal self-learning aid than just a collection of tools and contacts that you have developed over time. That is if it's necessary to deliberately set out to create a PLE in order to achieve some learning aim.

POINT 1. The PLE differs from the general usage of the LMS in that it is not course focused, but rather focuses on the learning the student is doing over the length of their learning journey. By extension it tends to allow for the student to control the way their own work is organized.

My problem lies in the double trouble that exists around ‘telling’ someone that this is going to be their personal space, and the other is around the idea that TIME is very short in most courses, too short, really, to create a ‘network’
...

How do we know that any learning happened? How can we possibly organize all the work that students are doing so that they can find each other’s work and so that I, as an instructor, can review all their work? These (and many more) are some of the difficult practical issues around the PLE PLN in the classroom. In the course I linked to in the last section, I put the onus on the students to copy/paste a link to each of their blog posts, to important comments they had made structuring other people’s work (one of our students or not) and important connections that they had made between the information/knowledge we were covering and their experience during the course.

From facilitator Dave Cormier -- "The concept of the Personal Learning Environment in all of its wondrous forms has been one that I've struggled with over the last four or five years that I've been familiar with it. I'm very excited to be taking part in the PLENK10 course in order to take the time to focus on these ideas and get a clearer sense of what I mean by the word. I would add, that I think this is one of the central values of an open course… it provides the opportunity to bring clarity to a subject in a field… even if we end up with different clarities"

An interesting post, summarizing a twitter conversion seeking a definition of PLN v PLE, that was the background to Alec Couros' definition of PLN on Page 124 of his paper (used as a Week 1 Reading): "personal learning networks are the sum of all the social capital and connections that result in the development and facilitation of a personal learning environment."

A discussion forum instigated by Scott Wilson, co-author of one of the Week 1 readings, and arguably (so far as I can tell from what I've read in the context of the PLENK2010 MOOC) the inventor of the term PLE. A good place to go for extra background and other readings related to "Personal Learning Environments: Challenging the dominant design of educational systems" (Wlison, et al, 2007)

For me this was an illuminating article which reinforced much of what I'd gleaned from readings and the need to look on conflict as a 'positive' which may open new perspectives. ----- New Technologies Can Keep You Connected and Help You Manage Information Overload. Learners become amplifiers as they engage in knowledge-building activities, connect what they learn, add value to existing knowledge and ideas, and re-issue them back into the network to be captured by others through their PLNs.
