The Personal Learning Environment - A Symbol of the Changing Landscape of Education in the Twenty First Century

Abstract

With the advent of the Information Age and the accompanying technological boom, the field of education has been experiencing a major shift in how, where and when learning takes place, with the focus moving from teacher-centered to student-centered learning, and learning that can happen at any time and in any place. This article will discuss how Personal Learning Environments have made these changes possible, the importance of creating one’s own PLE, and, will provide information on how to design a PLE. This topic merits a more in depth study that can be offered here.
