Stephen Downes: \u2018This is the next era of learning\u2019<\/strong><\/a> — from online-educa.com<\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

This year we are building on work we have undertaken over the last few years to develop and deploy the next generation of learning technologies, which we are calling \u2018learning and performance support systems<\/a>\u2019. This is the outcome of an internal prototype called Plearn \u2013 \u2018Personal Learning Environment and Research Network\u2019 \u2013 and develops the idea of learning support based on personal and individual needs. This is not simply \u2018personalised\u2019 learning, it is a step beyond that. Rather than offering a customised version of some generic offering, we propose to enable each learner to develop their own custom programme from the ground up.<\/p>\n

Our application, which launches in a limited beta September 30, provides individual learners with the tools and support necessary to access learning from any number of providers \u2013 not just educational institutions, but also their friends and mentors, their current and future employers, community and social programmes, and much more. Built on current and evolving learning technology standards, it provides access to MOOCs, to traditional learning management systems, to stand-alone courses and software, and even to the world of the Internet of things.<\/p>\n

At the core of LPSS is a system we call the \u2018personal learning record\u2019 (PLR). A person\u2019s LPSS system keeps track of everything related to learning \u2013 exercises followed, tests taken, games and simulations attempted, work read \u2013 and stores that all in a single location. In this way, unlike a learning management system, it combines<\/em> data from the learning environment, the work environment and even the social environment, thus enabling adaptive learning software to close the loop between learning and performance. The PLR is also combined with a learner\u2019s personal library and their personal e-portfolio, and links to credentials offered by and stored by learning institutions, employers, and social network activities, such as badges.<\/p>\n
