personal learing environments for lifelong learning
DESCRIPTION
Dan Stuart's view of online education and translating formal learning activities into a way of structuring your personal online interests, interactions and engagements was another way of looking at stuff that I, for one, do 'organically' - but he tied together these things in a way I hadn't thought about. For that, alone, I found his talk worthwhile.From http://fakeplasticsouks.blogspot.com/2009/12/geekfest-and-beirut.htmlTRANSCRIPT
Agree on terms...
School?
Learning?
E-Learning?
…E-learning as a department store
Learning Management Systems
• software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, e-learning programs, and training content – like an CorpTraining-ERP
Virtual Learning Environments
• focused on the development, management and publishing of the content that will typically be delivered via an LMS
• features in these systems include wikis, blogs, RSS and 3D virtual learning spaces
They curate, so why not curate your own learning?
…E-learning as a high street
Personal Learning Environments
• shape your own learning spaces, to form and join communities and to create, consume, remix, and share material
Personal Learning Environments
• set your own learning goals, manage your learning
• managing both content and process, communicate with others in the process of learning, and thereby achieve learning goals
Personal Learning Environments
• requires a social context by offering means to connect with other personal spaces for effective knowledge sharing and collaborative knowledge creation
