Abstract:
Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is an emerging concept in the field of learning technology. PLE allows users to aggregate information from distributed Web 2.0 services and organize it in the way that it is convenient for learners. Despite the fact, that PLE uses distributed social services as information source and by the nature of its design, it is a type of virtual social community; the social component is used very poorly in the scope of PLE. A new model of “wisdom of the crowd” utilization is presented in this paper. The exclusive feature of this method is both aggregated and generated information sources analysis, allowing developing more precise digital identity and its’ further use for appropriate learning sources discovery.
