PLEs and me 2
Nicola considers what a PLE is in a recent post. There are a few replies I might give, but first I'll note that I'll avoid disappearing into a philosophical quagmire on the three levels of description that the concept provides. Perhaps more on that in another post for those consumed by fervor along the lines of "its a concept" vs. "its a system" (and mea culpa here, sometimes
).The PLE movement sprung up from a wave of disenchantment with VLEs and the centralised control model of education that they represent. Instead, an informing philosophy was learner empowerment, taking responsibility for one's own education. In parallel with this learning was seen as a social act, that significant learning (or, even, all learning) occurs in a social context -- even the act of learning something from a book on ones own is social, because language and shared understanding underpins and enables such 'solitary' learning experiences.

"A useful definition is that "Personal Learning Environments are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning."
"A PLE may be composed of one or more subsystems: As such it may be a desktop application, or composed of one or more web-based services." [MvH, here and here]"
"Thus more and more I have become to believe that a PLE is a social network based system; it embodies a specific educational philosophy, but importantly it enables people to decide on educational goals and help each other with their own education."
