A Framework for Personalized e-Learning Environments

September 30th, 2009

Abstract


Recognizing that technology should play a major role in the education processes, many research and development efforts have been put into the development of innovative technology-enhanced learning systems.

But Course Management Systems, Learning Management Systems and Virtual Learning Environments have never given a satisfactory answer to the challenge of providing tools widely accepted by both educators and students to enhance the education process.

For a number of reasons, many times those tools seemed to be simultaneously too complicated on the teacher side and too old fashioned on the student side, to be easily accepted. At the same time these learning environments are more another information system, organization centred or content driven, forgetting the way the end user learns and interacts.

Now that our full lifestyle is being transformed by mobile phones and Internet communications, Personal Learning Environments seem to be the answer to this challenge, providing personalized desktops to students where a variety of resources are integrated to suit the requirements of each student and social networks and social media are also connected in a meaningful way.

We intend to discuss the different views that can be adopted and to propose a framework for the construction of such environments.
