What is a Personal Learning Environment?
Definitions for Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) differ. Some have suggested that the principles of PLEs can be presented in a software tool (see Plex, for example), while others suggest it to be more of a concept than a particular tool. The differing viewpoints of PLEs are reflective of infancy of the concept, and the practical applications of the read/write web itself.
A few definitions:
l "A Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is a collection of free, distributed, web-based tools, usually centred around a blog, linked together and aggregating content using RSS feeds and simple HTML scripts." http://seanfitz.wikispaces.com/creatingyourple
l "a Personal Learning Environment is a facility for an individual to access, aggregate, configure and manipulate digital artefacts of their ongoing learning experiences." http://members.optusnet.com.au/rlubensky/2006/12/present-and-future-of-personal-learning.html
l "Essentially, they are a collection of tools, brought together under the conceptual notion of openness, interoperability, and learner control." http://www.elearnspace.org/blog/archives/002884.html
A few other random thoughts:
Ideally, a PLE requires content and conversation to flow between different platforms. The challenge of traditional Learning Management Systems (see Learning of Management Systems? (.doc) stems from the inability for learners and educators alike to share resources with the ease of many PLE tools.
Why PLEs? Why Now?
The popularity of PLEs are driven by numerous factor:
l Internet/Web
l Connective Technology
l Informalization
l Complexification
See Knowing Knowledge for a more involved discussion of the changes influencing information, society, and education.

Sites like Myspace, Facebook and EduSpaces.net can serve as PLEs - the ability to dialogue, manage ones own identity, and share resources, combined with huge penetration in many campuses, speak of their potential as a learning tool. EduSpaces.net is based on an open source tool for social networking, that can be used also as PLE and Eportfolio tool: Elgg.
Devices are generally not considered to be a part of a PLE (the emphasis on PLEs "as a concept" reflect this). The growth of mobile phones and "portable computing" may change this emphasis.
Current Barriers
Are PLEs ready for wide spread adoption? During a recent PLE symposium at
l Numerous tools can be overwhelming
l Skill levels/digital literacy competency (technical literacy - i.e. how to use different functions of a computer and many "web 2.0" tools...as well as information literacy - how to evaluate information needs and determine quality of information being explored)
l Pedagogical viewpoints - different viewpoints of what it means to teach, to learn, and views of the role of education all impact potential approaches
How do we achieve clear outcomes through decentralized means? How do we reconcile the structured nature of formal education with the informal attributes of networked learning? While PLEs and eportfolios offer an opportunity to blend informal and formal learning, the gulf between the two is great.
Unfortunately, large scale adoption of PLEs in formal academic environments will be stifled until the process of implementation can be duplicated (to ensure quality) and control points (in to form of metrics) exist for funding bodies and other stakeholders (like parents). Blogs, wikis, and podcasts are experiencing higher levels of adoption, but as individual tools, they hardly qualify as a PLE. Individual teachers and educators may adopt these read/write tools in classrooms, fully online courses require greater connection between elements, hence the continued popularity of WebCT/Moodle/Blackboard.
Another challenge facing PLEs is the lack of content presentation tools. Over the last year, this inadequacy has been somewhat addressed through content presentation like Slideshare. Google expects to have a content presentation tool available by summer 2007.
