    Eight minute video looking at the ideas behind Personal Learning Environments
My presentation at the PLE workshop at ALT-C in Edinburgh
Regular readers will know I have been messing with different video formats for the last three or so months. Thsi  is  the first video presentation I am really pleased with. I think the live recording is much better than trying to reproduce within a studio the adrenelin of speaking live.

We are working on a wiki to give access to the full outcomes of the workshop.

1 PLE = Brain

A lot of the discussion around PLEs seems to be that we need to have a place to store everything we've ever learned. Honestly, we already have that place, it is called a brain. I don't need to go back and read my 1st grade math textbook, because I learned that and stored it in my brain. We would be far better off focusing on improving learning so that it gets stored in long-term memory, not improving its indexability so that we can run a search over the billions of things we have ever learned and try to make sense of the results.

2 ALT-C 2006 Sessions/Proceedings?

Any more ALT-C 2006 session materials available?
Great stuff Graham! Wish I could've attended ALT-C to participate in all the social networking/PLE discussion. Any idea if any of the other sessions or proceedings will be made available online anytime soon? I'm looking for any peer-reviewed lit. I can get my hands on concerning social networking/social constructivism. I'm planning to look at social networks in self-paced learning environments in my dissertation. Is anyone compiling the most current literature in this area? It seems that little has trickled into peer-reviewed journals to date.

1 The Wales-Wide Web | Personal Learning Environments - Live at Edinburgh at StigmergicWeb

[...]Graham Atwell has published a screencast of his presentation Personal Learning Environments - Live at Edinburgh. There’s just so much I like about his presentation, but two main ideas stand out in my mind: A personalized learning environment is not an application. It is a suite of services which could be, I suppose, web based or locally run on a PC. Most important, Graham points out that the suite of services is made up of small tools, loosely connected . This is a theme I’ve[...]
