Graham Attwell writes, "A further piece in the jigsaw is the move towards Personal Learning Environments. PLEs are important in allowing individuals to organise and manage their own learning, regardless of where that learning takes place. PLEs can provide a framework for scaffolding and reflection on learning." What needs to change, though, are systems of accreditation and assessment. When we separate teaching from testing, we will unleash a system that allows people to manage their own learning in a wide variety of ways. This is not about the privatization of education - I think that government should b providing the systems and supports that enable personal learning. But it is about enabling personal empowerment in learning, and in the long run, a much more effecient, effective and accessible system.
