3. Personal Learning Environments and
Information Dashboards
PLEs refer to student-designed learning approaches that
encompass different types of content — videos, apps, games,
social media tools, and more — chosen by a student to match his
or her personal learning style and pace. Despite the use of the
word “environment” in the name, the notion of a collection or a
physical or online space is somewhat irrelevant to a PLE. The goal
is for students to have more control over how they learn, and for
teachers to set expectations that their students will be more
engaged in understanding and applying their learning strategies.
