Personal Learning Environments
Have you noticed a growing reference to eportfolios as “personal learning environments” or PLEs? Jeremy Hiebert ponders how they might be different from eportfolios and asks if and why a shift occured on his HeadSpace blog:
“Did vendors and institutions kill the initial promise of e-portfolios by trying to turn the concept into a single tool (product) used to measure student achievement?”
In trying to distinguish the different kinds of tools used in a PLE over the traditional eportfolio, Hiebert draws a concept map to represent how someone might use a PLE as an eportfolio.
