  2. What is a PLE/N PLEs are scenarios that help learners take control of and manage their own learning.This includes providing support for learners to: • set their own learning goals • manage their learning, both content and process • communicate with others in the process of learning Working, learning and playing through Personal Learning Environments Slideshare Presentation by Graham Attwell

  3. PLE/N - Applied PLE/Ns represents the integration of a number of "Web 2.o" technologies like blogs, Wikis, Diigo, RSS feeds, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Vimeo, other Media Apps, etc.— around the independent learner. PLE/Ns puts the individual learner at the center, connecting him or her to both information and to communities to: "... provide personal spaces, which belong to and are controlled by the user, [and also provide] a social context by offering means to connect with other personal spaces for effective knowledge sharing and collaborative knowledge creation” (1)

  4. PLE/N – Stephen Downs Stephen Downes describes the PLE as: "... one node in a web of content, connected to other nodes and content creation services used by other students. It becomes, not an institutional or corporate application, but a personal learning center, where content is reused and remixed according to the student's own needs and interests. It becomes, indeed, not a single application, but a collection of interoperating applications—an environment rather than a system". Stephen Downes Website – Relevant posts, presentation archive, and more.

  6. What is Social Learning Using the term "Social Learning 2.0," Anderson and Dron reinforce the emphasis on community, conceptualizing it in terms of "groups," "networks" and "collectives" (2007)and thereby achieve learning goals.

  7. PLE/Ns & Social Media/Networking Social Media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Youtube, Yelp, etc., play an increasingly active and viable role in PLE/Ns.
