Personal Learning Environment is a promising pedagogical approach to integrate formal and informal learning in social media and support student self-regulated learning. The use of PLEs to support lifelong learning can be expanded to the formal, non-formal, or informal learning environments. This study empirically examined how PLE management predicted the use of PLE to support three types of lifelong learning (i.e., formal, non-formal, or informal learning). This study concluded that PLE management was predictive of each type of learning respectively. PLE is not only a technical platform but also a new digital learning literacy, conceptual space, pedagogical process, and social networks that enable and support learners to achieve their lifelong learning goals. While Open Educational Resources (OERs) are perceived as a solution for social justice in digital lifelong learning, PLE and Open Network Learning Environment are identified as the key pedagogy and instructional strategies to empower learners gaining network-learning literacy and becoming competent digital lifelong learners.

<p>En este trabajo se presenta un estudio documental sobre el surgimiento, evolución y estado actual de la utilización y desarrollo de los Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje (Personal Learning Environment, PLE) en el marco de la Educación Permanente o Aprendizaje para Toda la vida (Lifelong Learning). En primer lugar, se hace una revisión del concepto de Educación Permanente desde la literatura de inicios de siglo XX. A continuación, se procede a estudiar el término PLE, desde sus orígenes hasta la interpretación actual. Se presentan experiencias tanto nacionales como internacionales donde se ejemplifica de forma práctica la utilización de PLE en la educación universitaria. Finalmente, se hace una reflexión de cierre sobre las proyecciones de futuro del uso de los PLE en el marco de la educación permanente.</p>

In the field of education, cloud computing, as a basic environment and platform for the future network learning, will bring positive effect on construction of the learners' personal learning environment, on construction of school resources, on development of the educational information system. Based on the analysis of the cloud-computing influence on collaborative learning, this paper puts forward the construction strategy of collaborative learning environment supported by cloud-computing and the specific application case, which will provide reference for cloud-computing application in education informatization and social network learning.

Purpose This paper aims to describe a conceptual design of Personal Learning Environment & Network (PLE&N) and a learning model developed in support of peer-based social and lifelong learning in higher education, which collaborate with classroom learning. Design/methodology/approach The model consists of students, instructors and external parties interacting synergistically in learning in PLE&N-enabled courses based on the collaborative designs of instructor-led pedagogical approach and external parties-assisted lifelong learning “first-mover” development. The research constructs, tests and assesses this model in courses of 12 subjects in nearly two years. Findings The practicality of the designs is evidenced in post-course surveys and reflected by students’ ability in productively using collaborative resources over the internet to create an ever-expanding personal learning space stretching from home to campus and beyond, oriented toward individuality, universality, ubiquity, interactivity and connectivity. Originality/value The research contributes to PLE&N, social and lifelong learning seamless integration in theory and practice to dramatically enhance students’ virtual learning skills.

The article is devoted to the issue of formation and increasing digital competence of future primary school teachers. The article addresses the issue of the implementation of blended learning in higher education, analysis methods and software applications with which scientific and teaching staff engaged in educational activities. The characteristic features and needs of the new generation Z have been determined, the concepts of macro, meso and micro trends in European education have been analyzed. The authors discovered the meaning of Personal learning environment (PLE), substantiated the idea that giving students the opportunity to work in a qualitatively formed e-environment will allow them to acquire professional and soft-skills for later life, create their own e-portfolio, manage their own educational formal and informal learning process throughout life. There are highlighted and described the characteristic features of informal learning in the article. The emphasis in the work is on the personalization of educational trajectories of students, thanks to PLE tools. The use of ICT, in particular, network services, allows us to create the appropriate pedagogical and technological basis for the maintenance of modern informational systems of educational purposes, which are the priority in the basis of any educational process, the formation of digital competence, and the effective organization of the educational environment of an educational institution
