PLENK2010: Week 2 "Contrasting personal learning with institutional learning" - 0 views

  •  
    Readings and activities for week 2. What jumped out at me was the assumption that I would want to learn Concept Mapping, a new tool CMAP to go with it, and the expectation that I would become sufficiently competent within a week to use it to detail the tools that I use in my own learning. Tall order? Probably!

How to revamp your learning model « Learning in the Corporate Sector - 0 views

  •  
    Some more Three Letter Acronyms to guide us into week 2. Here we have ILE (Informal Learning Environment) and FLE (Formal Learning Environment). The ILE uses a wiki for knowledge aggregation, a forum (or microblogging tool like Yammer) for discussions and a set of profiles for documenting expertise or (human) points of contact for informal learning. (A commenter added Google custom search). The FLE includes a Learning Management System (LMS) for managing formal learning, assessment, etc. and a reports database for recording formally assessed competencies, compliance etc. The idea is that learning would take place in the ILE and formal assessment of competencies be recorded in the FLE. The model is aimed at corporate training but could be adapted for higher education. From "Learning in the Corporate Sector" by Ryan Tracey.

Where a PLN and an LMS Become One (#PLENK2010) « Collaborative Understandings - 0 views

  •  
    A counter argument to the "Advantages of an LMS" from Anderson (2006) from the Collaborative Understandings blog. In the interests of balance I should state that the author doesn't comment of Anderson's "Advantages of a PLE".

PLE's versus LMS: Are PLEs ready for Prime time? | Virtual Canuck - 0 views

  •  
    Terry Anderson discusses the relative advantages and disadvantages of a PLE and VLE (LMS). This was in 2006 when Anderson was hoping that "Nonetheless, the PLE future seems to be more secure than that of any monolithic LMS. I suspect the LMS systems that survive will do so by opening themselves to standards based enhancements, service requests and the strong evolutionary move towards real learner centric educational applications." Four years on, it hasn't happened yet and if anything the monolithic LMS, at least as exemplified by Blackboard, is still fairly closed ... or where open, open only to incoming information.

    A weakness for me of this paper is that the comparison does not seem to be comparing like-for-like. A tabular presentation might have been more helpful.

PLE vs. LMS - disaggregate power, not people. @ Dave's Educational Blog - 0 views

  •  
    An important contribution the the PLE v LMS debate that will be the focus of Week 2. Dave Cormier says that "The PLE/LMS debate is not about autodidacticism, it's about the decentralization of power". Dave and commentors Michael Feldstein and Alan Levine see a a role for institutions, educators and even an LMS in the "brave new world" of the PLE.

Personal Learning Environments - 0 views

  • A PLE (personal learning environment) is: a system that helps learners take control of and manage their own learning. This includes providing support for learners to set their own learning goals, manage their learning, manage both content and process, and communicate with others in the process of learning. In contrast, a virtual learning environment (VLE) or learning management system (LMS), such as Blackboard or Moodle, is: a software system designed to help teachers by facilitating the management of educational courses for their students, especially by helping teachers and learners with course administration. The system can often track the learners' progress, which can be monitored by both teachers and learners. Notice the difference? A VLE/LMS is all about controlling how you learn. A PLE is about giving you control over how you learn.
