Personal Learning Environments
This document discusses professional learning networks (PLNs) and personal learning environments (PLEs). It defines a PLN as a network of people with similar interests that can be used to share ideas, ask questions, collaborate, and stay connected. PLEs are described as tools that allow learners to engage in a distributed learning environment using various people, services, and resources. The document emphasizes that PLEs provide a portal for learners to explore and create according to their own interests and directions while interacting with friends and community. It also discusses policies needed to support the development and adoption of PLEs, including recognizing different contexts of learning and co-shaping technologies.
