6. Connectivism & PLEs/ePortfolios
“Principles of Connectivism:
Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions.
Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources.
Learning may reside in non-human appliances.
Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known.
Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning.
Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill.
Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities.
Decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming
information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may
be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.”

8. Student Comments (2010)……
“I am TOTALLY in love with the e-portfolio concept. I
am going to keep this and work on it and put a link on my
Facebook, my AOL blog and my business card. Every
week in this class I feel as though I have learned
something new. I cannot imagine how I have managed all
of my career without being aware of this knowledge.”
“I am proud of my achievements and would gladly
contribute an ePortfolio and each time I reflect back to it I
might get the incentive to add a new accomplishment.
Effective ePortfolio practices, central and common point
for the student as a person undergoing continuous
development. Life is a developmental journey and I am
proud of how far I have come and look forward to more.”
“I am also very proud of my accomplishments and yes I
would be excited to tell people, but I'm not comfortable
putting everything about my life "out there" for strangers
who I don't know and they don't know me. ”
“I have to admit, initially I was intimidated by the whole
idea of creating an ePortfolio. I am still in the process of
getting comfortable with the navigation. I like the idea
that this is something you can have for life and you can
continue updating your life story.”

10. Lifelong PLE = ePortfolio
With the advent of web 2.0 and 3.0 tools for use as an
ePortfolio, the learner becomes central to and
responsible for creating and managing their own
Personalized Learning Environment (PLE).
Professionals who are life-long learners are
continuously learning, sharing, and receiving
knowledge through many “ways of knowing.

14. PLE =Lifelong ePortfolios
• The self-directed goals and plan of the PLE do not rely on
place and time availability of a content expert. The mobile
devices of today facilitate the use of the PLE approach to the
education and life long learning needs of professionals in
healthcare and other disciplines.
• ePortfolios are an electronic repository and resource to
“connect” educational and academic goals with personal and
professional goals and experiences internally and with “external
knowledge networks”.
• Provides students the opportunity to design and develop their
“Personal Learning Environment” for continued self-directed
lifelong learning.
