Development of Personal Learning Environments in Higher Education

<p><i>The Development of Personal Learning Environments in Higher Education</i> explores how today’s knowledge-based learner-centered virtual platforms which often limit teaching to a complimentary facilitation role can compromise with the requirements and regulations of colleges and universities. Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) driven by culturally responsive teaching and learner autonomy represent a shift in the higher education paradigm but how can scholars designers administrators and faculty ensure effective institutionally compatible construction and management of these systems? This book offers forward-thinking insights into the variety of student-centered learning interactions particularly culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogies that can be integrated into PLEs. Attending to quality assessment rubrics the nuances of stakeholders’ needs and theoretically sound frameworks these cross-cultural interdisciplinary chapters explore how leaders instructors technologists and learners can form a precise yet flexible ecosystem to fully realize PLEs in which co-created intercultural narratives yield rich relevant digital learning experiences.</p>
