A good friend of mine, Justin Hardman from Hong Kong,(http://blueprint-blog.com/) and I were discussing the tension between VLE's and Personal Learning Networks. ========= "Interesting debate; I think there is value in both. It strikes me that a person that has a well formed personal learning network is far better situated to be a life long learner, as this is something that follows them wherever they go - from formal as well as informal environments. Thus I think a core mission of a school in this day an age is a responsibility to help students cultivate personal learning networks so that their learning is not tied to the institution. While the student is attached to the institution I would think a core component of their PLE would be the institutions web tools (VLE, research tools, etc - afterall why else are they part of the school? for its resources/facilities both physical and virtual). This pushes us to ask the question - how does the world of PLE change VLEs? I think it pushes us to make them as "open" as possible in terms of flat in structure as well as interoperable so students and teachers can move seamlessly between them and their wider personal learning network." ============== How can we bring institutions back into the Connectivism picture as foci of collaboration within the larger PLN?
