Resumen

Personal Learning Environment (PLE) – as an idea, approach and concept – has demonstrated the potential to support a learner-centred digital learning ecosystem that is diverse, individualised, adaptive, integrated, transparent and skill-based. In a PLE, the locus of control shifts away from the institution to individuals, to the agency of individuals, helping them take control of their learning and build a personal cyberinfrastructure and learning ecosystem that extends learning beyond the classroom, institution, or organisation’s boundaries using distributed and portable tools. In the current conditions, understanding what a PLE is and reshaping educational systems to relocate PLE is more importanat tan ever; as well as to refocus the importance of reshaping learning and prioritizing people's agency in the current technological and social conditions. This special issue was conceived as an effort to collectively explore the pathways and challenges of adopting the PLE as a legitimate approach for self-education and lifelong learning and engaging in contextual change. The papers finally included on it, have a variety of perspectives, including - theoretical reflections, conceptual analysis, literature reviews, learning and teaching experiences – from the learners’ point of view and from the instructors’ point of view, as well as tools for improving student experiences, systemic projects to confront PLE challenges, and first approaches to research paths that explore other aspects of the implementation of the PLE. In addition, this issue brings together a number of authors, nationalities and data sources that broaden our view of the object of study and can enrich the discourse.
