10. COLLABORATION

11. How do we get people to
collaborate?

12. The Social Web
(Web 2.0)

13. Web 2.0 applications called “start
pages” are designed to provide a
personalized place on the
internet where users can mashup
data, information and
knowledge available anywhere,
anytime, including mobile login.
Wikipedia

14. “Web 2.0 is the architecture of participation” –
Eugene Barsky
TheWeb will be understood not as screenfulls of
text and graphics but as a transport
mechanism, the ether through which interactivity
happens” – Darcy DeNucci (1999

15. Nobody really knows what it means...IfWeb 2.0 for you is
blogs and wikis, then that is people to people. But that
was what theWeb was supposed to be all along” – Sir
Tim Berners-Lee
“Web 2.0 is all about harnessing
collective intelligence” –Tim O’Reilly
(2009)

34. What is a
Personal Learning
Environment?

35. Personalisation of learning means
ensuring that individual differences are
acknowledged

36. The way networks learn is the
way people learn…

37. PLEs are not another
substantiation of
educational technology
but a new approach to
learning

38. A response to pedagogic
approaches which require
that learner’s e-learning
systems need to be under
the control of the learners
themselves

39. and recognize the needs of life-
long learners for a system that
provides a standard interface to
different institutions’ e-learning
systems, and that allows
portfolio information to be
maintained across institutions

40. PLE are based on the idea
that learning will take
place in different contexts
and situations and will not
be provided by a single
learning provider

41. PLE
 the idea of a Personal
Learning Environment
recognises that
learning is continuing
and seeks to provide
tools to support that
learning

42. Using whatever tools and
devices which the learners
choose

43. It also recognizes the
role of the individual
in organizing their
own learning

44. • Add tools/services

data, information, knowledge

45. Formal and
Informal
Learning

46. Formal learning
informal learning
30% 70%

47. PLEs can help in the
recognition of
informal learning

48. The ‘pedagogy’ behind the PLE – if it
could be still called that – is that it
offers a portal to the world, through
which learners can explore and
create, according to their own
interests and directions, interacting
at all times with their friends and
community

49. THE PLE
 the PLE will
challenge the
existing
education
systems and
institution

50. New forms of learning are
based on trying things and
action, rather than on more
abstract knowledge

51. recognise different
forms and contexts of
learning

52. the development and
adoption of new
pedagogies

53. the co-shaping of
technologies bringing
together techies and
teachers, enterprises and
institutions
