As part of preparations for a workshop this fall on ‘building your own PLE’ I am collecting diagrams of people’s personal learning environments on this wiki page (or even images illustrating how they conceive of them at a purely conceptual level). I do not want to “boil them down” or reduce them all to the same “thing,” but along the lines of asking what “postures” make up people’s PLEs, I am looking for ways to make a complicated idea/practice more easy to understand for newcomers.
I’m hoping this page will be useful to others. Certainly, I was assisted by a number of people who had aggregated PLE resources, including this extensive wiki. If you feel like adding your own to the list, leave a comment here, or follow the instructions on the wiki page (or just email them to me). – SWL
Nice one Scott, I was looking for just such a thing the other day. If I give you a list of all the other things I need to find, can you create them too?
Martin, “weddings, parties…anything” Let me know, I’ll give it a try!
Excellent aggregation of info. You can bet I’ll be looking through this for hours.
[...] Scott Leslie has collated a variety of PLE diagrams. Sure to come in useful for presentations, roadmap plotting and just plain on inspiration. [...]
[...] Since we just had our 3rd International scil Congress (and I will hopefully write a little bit about this later today) where one of the topics was Personal Learning Environments, I find this collection of PLE illustrations quite interesting (via edtechpost). The illustration that I like most is the following: source: http://thand.wordpress.com/2007/05/28/ple-2/ I like this one so much because it includes a number of dimensions, e.g. teacher-mediated, more instituionalized instruments, rather personal instruments. I’m don’t think that the dichotomy of formal vs. informal resp. declarative vs. tacit knowledge is consistent but nevertheless this way of structuring the PLE seems a good start What we did in a postconference workshop with Graham Atwell was to think about our own PLEs. I quite liked this idea to start from the personal point of view and then try to come up with a more general idea what the PLE might be about. [...]
Great, people are posting there really interesting things.
Thanks for this idea, Scott!
