Complex PLE Good background for future professional development

Conclusions and reflec&ons Students’ PLEs have evolved considerably over these 6 months.
This is likely due to: ü The personal experience and development. ü The enrollment in a course has contributed to more complex PLEs. ü The concerns raised in the first interview, have contributed to this greater
complexity.
As far as the specific results are concerned, we would like to point out: ü The emergence and spread of some of the func&ons. ü The incorpora&on of mobile devices into the PLE. ü The development of some func&ons that are important for future professional
development.
