Project description:

Beyond the technological dimension of the concept of PLE (Personal Learning Environment), its significance is much closer to the balance between formal and informal learning based on Learner-Centered approach. The combination of these two dimensions of learning involves the development of a specific approach for technological and educational implementations.

Feedback of the pre-studies (PLE and ePortfolio)

Two preliminary studies allowed us to establish several reasonable assumptions from which we can build and develop a number of prospects for the design and deployment of a PLE. The concept map below summarizes the needs that were identified in both pre-studies.

preschool and PLE ePortfolio.

These pre-studies strongly suggest to consider students as the first target for a campaign on awareness, information and training on PLE, so as to enable them to develop transversal competencies in online resources. This campaign will combine technological and educational aspects of ICT usages through a “didactic Dashboard”
