Research publications on Massive Open Online Courses and Personal Learning Environments
People interested in Massive Open Online Courses will probably be aware of the research by Helene Fournier and me on Personal Learning Environments and MOOCs. We carried out research in the MOOC PLENK2010 (The MOOC Personal Learning Environments Networks and Knowledge that was held in the fall of 2010). The data collected on this distributed course with 1641 participants has been massive as well. Its analysis has kept us and some fellow researchers busy over the past year.The design and development of a personal learning environment: Researching the learning experience (Rita Kop) - Academia.edu
A PLE will be different from other information gathering tools as it aims to provide learners with tailor made information in a type of application that is centred on the student and would constitute the student’s personal educational record, portfolio, business and educational contacts, communications and creativity tools, library and resource subscription management, and related services. In short, it combines all tools and applications a learner needs to start a learning journey with recommendations of information based on earlier searches and personal profile, in addition to feedback from others on their learning. The PLE can be used by learners in a variety of contexts. They might like to carry out a learning project independently from others, or have contact with others during their learning. The PLE would recommend tools according to learner activity and learner project.
