Questions about VLEs
What is the implicit pedagogy?– technologies are not neutral– are alternative pedagogies constrained?
Where is the locus of control?– institutional or learner-centred?
Is the technology closed or open?– how easy is it to migrate to another
system?

A Personal Learning Environment ?
PLEs are a concept, not a product [1] [2] [3]
PLEs are not just about technology:– places, people, networks, resources, tools
But technologies are a key enabler:– building communities– accessing resources– managing information

“The thing that most excites me about the PLE at
the moment that it isn’t fixed or settled, that it’s
fundamentally a conversation across the edtech
community about what learners need, what
institutions might be providing, which PLE
methods might be most useful. I see it as a
practical attempt to get beyond the current
dichotomy between closed CMS’s vs the small
pieces approaches, by pushing innovators and
institutions to develop and explore tools and
platforms where communities and individuals
can themselves determine boundaries,
permeability and connections.”Josie Fraser, 2006
