Learner Production andSharing of Knowledge
Web 2.0 Is A Two-Way Process
A New Resource Ecology
Share Ideas
Create New
Knowledge
Web 2.0 is a two way process, allowing the Internet to be used for creating and sharing
information and knowledge, rather than merely accessing external artefacts,
(Pontydysgu, p 4)
Consumers themselves become producers, through creating and sharing,
(Attwell ,2007)
Innovations [in educational technology] confront us with choice, not a destiny
(Freenberg, 1999)
Web 2.0 Is A Two-Way Process
Institutionally Centered Online Learning
Slowly we are coming to realise that we cannot simply reproduce previous forms of
learning – the classroom or the university
embodied in software ,(Pontydysgu, 2007)
Institutionally Centered Online Learning
Personal Learning Environments
Social Software Adapts To Its Environment Instead Of Requiring Its
Environment To Adapt To The Software(Pontydysgu, 2007)
a PLE [Personal Learning Environments] can be a manifestation of a learner’s informal learning
processes via the Web(Pontydysgu, 2007)
The emergence of PLEs is less about establishing a new path in online learning that it is a response to the
limitations of current online offerings(Martindale & Dowdy)
Personal Learning Environments
Informal Learning IsDisconnected From Formal
Educational Institutions(Pontydysgu, (2007)
Acceptance will entail a radical shift in the ethos of education
