PLE as a system

A PLE may be composed of one or more subsystems: As such it may be a desktop application, or composed of one or more web-based tools/services.

Important concepts in PLEs include the integration of both formal and informal learning episodes into a single experience, the use of social networks that can cross institutional boundaries, and the use of networking protocols (Peer-to-Peer, web services, syndication) to connect a range of resources and systems within a personally-managed space.
