Personal learning
environments – Web 2.0 for
learning
Janet Burstall, SEO, Centre for Learning Innovation
Grant Casey, CEO, Centre for Learning Innovation
• how are Web 2.0 technologies being used
already?
• what are the needs for a personal learning
environment that allows teachers (and
possibly students) to discover, organise,
manage, create, present and share
content on the web?
• how could a Web 2.0 learning environment
enable teachers to transform the use of
TaLe for themselves and for their
students?
Some

• In one TAFE Institute 0.05% of teachers deliver
online, 8% use blended delivery.
Considerations
• Embedding innovation needs a bridge
between early adopters and mainstream.
(Maree Jasinski)
• Digital literacy is a new key competency,
all students and teachers need to learn it.
• Using social software is like riding a bike,
not catching public transport. Each
individual chooses their own route. Anyone
can share any part of the journey.

DET portal not accessible - "I accept" Adaptive technologies and variant
literacy levels need to be catered for.
What if it's blocked?
Need for authentic texts, i.e. form the outside world, nit just inside the
portal.
Broadband, speed.
Digital rights, copyright.
DET portal is maintained on weekends, when sometimes TAFE is
teaching, and portal goes down.
Keeping inside DET cuts off external expertise, including international.
Shared drive content can be cleaned off with no warning, content is lost.
Need access to constant innovation in web tools and ideas, which
happens externally.
Login-password issues provide an early bad experience which puts
people off.
DET portal is not as usable as external sites.
Student safety best learnt in real world, rather than created by boundary.
Students need to learn the consequences of having digital identities.
What are the issues of NOT having these tools
provided inside the TAFE (and DET) network?

• Same as previous question and…
• Privacy/comfort can be an advantage.
• When sites are blocked – how are students to learn
discernment?
• Political correctness/code of conduct.
