Why do we focus on the institution? An effective way to create a network of PLEs.
The institution is the link to lots of people and resources implied in the learning process.
Why do we focus on the institution? Personal in PLE means that the user decides
but other agents should advice and provide materials.

Our prototype
Widgets gadgets as the glue for the integration of services
Start page iGoogle as the frame for the widgets iGoogle within Google Apps
locally controlled environment (set of tools, group of users) administrator can configure a default PLE for everybody
Our prototype
Cloud-computing Google App Engine to extract and analyze the collective
intelligence that emerges from the network of PLEs
Network of blogs Elgg or Wordpress as a framework for creating the
blogs that backup the data exchanged within a group of users who use the PLE
Authoring tool: eXe learning
Our prototype
Repositories for: Documents Google Docs + Sites (wiki) Images Flickr Videos Youtube Bookmarks Delicious RLOs own server Posts network of institutional blogs
Vertical search engines Google CSEs
Our prototype
We use software from Google because it masks many technical issues it offers a flexible infrastructure
Google Apps is a propietary platform, but other products can also be used open nature of gadgets allow their placement in
any container
Open issues
Widgets that connect institutional services Development of collaborative widgets Real integration (data flow) of services inside
iGoogle, not just an interface integration Manage different user groups within Google
Apps (teachers, students, research groups…) Get experience with the standards we need
(SAML, OpenID, Oauth, OpenSocial, …) Integration of eXe learning and iGoogle
