2. Introduction
• Due to the fast changing nature of the information society, learning
requirements of the individuals continue during their lifetime and
formal education is not enough to meet all these requirements.
Individuals mostly start learning process on their own to meet
lifelong learning requirements in accordance with the current
necessities (self-initiated), they continue this process at interest
driven and learner-centered environments. For that purpose, they
create personal and/or shared common learning spaces and they
experience planned/not planned learning practices (Häkkinen and
Hämäläinen, 2011).
• In this study, a personal information management framework, in
which the learner can save his/her personal learning experiences
and simultaneously or later he/she can evaluate his/her integrated
learning experiences with his/her other experiences a person has,
will be offered. By using this approach users can manage their
personal and professional development more efficiently.

Lifelong Learning and Life-Wide Learning
Learning is a process which starts from birth continues till death (time horizon) and it happens
consciously or unconsciously everywhere during daytime (space horizon). This learning, which
involves entire life, called as lifelong learning.
The space, which contains all the learning types from formal education to informal education,
named as life-wide learning (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Time-space dimensions of learning (Clark, 2005).

Lifelong Learning and Life-Wide Learning
The distinction between formal and non-formal learning environments is about where learning
takes place.
• Formal learning occurs within institutions established primarily to deliver education and
training, often leads to recognized outcomes and qualifications.
• Non-formal learning has intended education and training outcomes; however, the setting is
out of the dedicated learning institutions, most often in places where learning is not the
primary business.
• Informal learning is distinguishable by an absence of primary intent.
• It is often unplanned and without explicit emphasis on learning, yet may still lead to the
acquisition of valuable skills, knowledge and attitudes (Clark, 2005) (Table 1).

Lifelong Learning and Life-Wide Learning
When we check how much time lifelong learning consumes at which part of the individuals’ life;
• formal learning starts at kindergarten stage (contains %9,25 of time),
• increases at primary and middle school education (increases up to %18,5 of time),
• starts decreasing at bachelor’s and master’s degree (contains %7,7 and %5,1 of time in turn)
and
• when school life ends except vocational trainings and refresher trainings (non-formal
learning) it doesn’t appear in a person’s life.
• Rest of the time is used at informal learning environments (Life Center, 2005) (Figure 2).

Technologies for Lifelong Learning
In order to technologically support formal and non-formal learning
CMS, LMS, LCMS or systems named as virtual learning environments
are used extensively at educational institutions. At VLES, when a
semester ends, students’ environment is reset and new environments
are created for new courses.
Similar to that, when a student changes his/her educational institution
horizontally or vertically the proof of his/her experiences belong to
that learning environments are left behind. In other words, student
cannot manage learning environment on his/her own during lifetime
(Mott and Wiley, 2009). On the other hand, institutions usually do not
aim to support informal learning. To fulfill needs of VLEs PLE concept is
developed.

Personal Learning Environments
Personal learning environment concept is used in 2004 for the first time
(Jisc/Cetis, 2004); gained importance after web 2.0 technologies and social
media networks have become widespread.
Ron Lubensky (2006) defined a PLE as “A personal learning environment is a
facility for an individual to access, aggregate, configure and manipulate digital
artifacts of their ongoing learning experience”.
According to Atwell, PLE is a technological environment constructed by an
individual and used in everyday life for learning (Attwell, 2007).
In contrast to Virtual Learning Environments, PLEs are made-up of a collection
of loosely coupled tools, including Web 2.0 technologies, used for working,
learning, reflection and collaboration with others (Attwell et al., 2009).

Personal Information Management
A comprehensive definition of PIM is provided by Jones (2008) and it states: Personal Information
Management (PIM) refers to both the practice and the study of the activities a person performs
in order to acquire or create, store, organize, maintain, retrieve, use and distribute the
information needed to meet life’s many goals (everyday and long-term, work-related and not)
and to fulfill life’s many roles and responsibilities (as parent, spouse, friend, employee, member
of community, etc.)
Researches towards personal information management are divided according to two outlooks:
– Personal implementation of information management
– Management of personal information
When we consider the personal learning environments, we see that functions of “personal
information management” can be fulfilled for certain levels with common PLE tools

Recording Life Experiences
Nowadays, high tech methods towards saving whole life experience of person are being examined.
Steve Mann’s wearable computer experiments (Mann, 2012) and Gordon Bell’s MyLifeBits Project
(Bell, 2012) are leading these methods.
With all these applications, it is aimed to record everything heard, seen, told and read by a person
digitally and reach these records whenever they are needed.
At first these applications were required to wear and carry heavy cameras, sensors, monitors but
nowadays they have become more ergonomic. For example, Project Glass developed by Google
seems to provide opportunities for popularizing this technology in future (Miller, 2012).

Recording Life Experiences
In the model, which is suggested by Teraoka for personal experience management,
experience is defined as collection of events and/or activities from which an individual
or group may gather knowledge, opinions, and skills according to Wikipedia
(Wikipedia, 2012a).
According to his model, there is a hierarchy between log, action and episodes
(Teraoka, 2012), (Figure 3).

Recording Life Experiences
Some authors discuss lifelong learning and recording of the life activities together.
• Barreau (2006) discussed Personal Information Management and context in learning environments.
• Ballantyne (2012) developed a framework for implementation of e-portfolio with lifelong access.
• Vavoula and Sharples (2009) discussed general requirements for the design of Lifelong Organizers based on findings from a diary-
based study of everyday learning practice and also based on the design and evaluation of KLOS, a prototype Lifelong Organizer that
supports learning projects, episodes and activities through the linking of learning content with semantic and episodic context.
• In order to record life experiences, an approach called as “Life Experiences Management Framework” has been suggested by Mutlu
and an information architecture suitable to this framework is developed and to test the applicability of the framework a software is
developed too (Mutlu, 2012b).
• Barret and Garret (2009) proposed ‘‘lifetime personal web space,’’ this online archive of a life’s collection of reflections, memories,
digital artifacts and memorabilia, both personal and professional, has the potential to change the current paradigm of electronic
portfolios, mostly institution-bound, and focus instead on the individual or the family as the center for creating a digital archive,
which can be used in a variety of contexts across the lifespan, from schools to universities to the workplace (Figure 4).

13. A Mobile Information Management
System Based PLE Framework Proposal
Rationale
Organization of Lifelong Learning and life wide learning: Individuals should have skills for self-
organized learning and self-regulated learning in order to organize their lifelong learning and life-
wide learning processes.
Management of Learning Experiences: Learning activities are meaningful in formal education as
long as they can be defined beforehand. Informal learning processes in which mostly learning
activities take place on their own, learning activity may not be defined and planned beforehand.
With this reason instead of “learning activity”, “learning experience” as a more general concept
will be used in framework.
There is a need for method to plan, direct, live, record, evaluate the learning experiences and
recognize the experiences lived before.
14. A Mobile Information Management
System Based PLE Framework Proposal
Rationale
To Record Learning Experiences: To record any experience belongs to our life means the thing
triggered that experience or our knowledge and abilities belong to that are recorded as well.
Here, despite objective information belongs to an asset, recording subjective information such as
comments, memories, emotions, ideas etc. gains importance as well. This subjective information
relates the asset or event to us, shapes our experience, and enables us to define necessary
conjunctions which help us to retrieve and evaluate this recorded moment later (Mutlu 2012b).
As stressed by Teraoka, in order to record experiences in episodic memory not only activities,
emotions and connections related to these activities must be recorded as well (Teraoka 2012b).
Individuality of Learning Experiences: When we discuss life-wide learning process, even though
learning experiences can be lived alone or with other people, comments, memories, plans
recorded by individuals about these experiences are mainly private and individuals may not want
to share them with others without a detailed elimination.
Because of the fact that, records belong to individuals’ learning experiences also belong to their
other life experiences as well and they cannot be isolated from each other.
15. A Mobile Information Management
System Based PLE Framework Proposal
Rationale
Contextual Learning Experience: Personal learning environment should make possible to record
all the learning experiences in life-wide belong and retrieve the content-context itself or its
comments. Contextual learning experience is defined below:
In this study, we suggest to form the context of the learning experience not only with limited
information such as user’s location, user’s device, current time and the environment around the
user but also unlimited information which can be formed freely by user.
Mobile PLE: The potential immensity of instructors, learning places and the learning moments in
lifelong learning and life-wide learning, forces learner to be ready to learn from everyone,
everywhere and every time. This requires personal learning environment to be carried to
everywhere.
When we search for technologies that can be anywhere anytime, mobile Technologies takes the
first place. As a result mobile learning environment must be the personal learning environment
which can be used lifelong.
16. The Proposal Framework
The framework we suggest (Life Wide Learning Experiences Management Framework) contains a
cycle of plan, live, record, personal and professional evaluation of life long and life wide learning
experiences (Figure 5).
Figure 5: Life-Wide Learning Experiences Management Framework
17. The Proposal Framework
Planning of Learning Experiences: It is possible to plan formal and non-formal education experiences
beforehand (learning aims and effectiveness can be designed before); it may not be possible to plan all the
informal learning experiences. Unplanned self-learning experiences can be experienced. The important things
are realizing, storing and using these experiences at self-evaluation stage while the experience occurs or after
that.
Living of Learning Experiences: Learning experience happens at a defined place (formal, non-formal, informal
environment), defined time and defined period. Experience is a personal concept and it can occur with a
private/common event/event series every situation, a content that can be the source or outcome of the
experience accompanies the experience.
There are different types of learning experience:
• In class learning experience: Formal and non-formal learning environment mostly contain in class and out of
classroom activities.
• Out of classroom formal and non-formal learning experiences: In formal education, while studying the
course taught in classroom or doing homework PLE is used
• Informal learning experiences: Each of the books read while resting, on vacation, on journey, music pieces
listened, movies watched, museums visited, concerts attended, people met, places visited can cause
learning experiences. Individuals may not realize they are having a learning experience at that time.
Experienced learners can catch and record these experiences with systematical review later. Informal
learning experiences may have happened out of PLE or before PLE is established. At this point, manual
recording of out of PLE learning experience can happen later just like other out of learning life experiences.
18. The Proposal Framework
Recording of Learning Experiences: Planned experiences can be recorded beforehand
unlike unplanned ones. Recording the learning experience, is recording activities,
content, people, places, assets, specifications, emotions, comments and behaviors
related to that experience.
Because of this qualification of recording function, people can record their past
unplanned learning experiences when they remember them and prepare a learning
experience inventory. Most people do not notice the existence of the informal learning
experiences in their life. Learning experience inventory help them to be aware of these
experiences and while they are gaining experience, this will help them to recognize
these experiences faster
Evaluation of Learning Experiences: Recording realized learning experiences provides
an objective way to evaluate learner’s planned learning experience performance.
The person sets learning goals for a specific period (annual, weekly, monthly, periodical
etc.), plans his/her learning activities to reach that goals and at the end of that specific
period he/she accounts his/her performance and updates his/her plans. Learning
experiences cannot be isolated from other experiences, plans, aims and problems in a
person’s life.
19. The Proposal Framework
Information Architecture
With the aim of designing information architecture for recording learning experiences, “Life
Experiences Management Framework” will be used as a base (Mutlu, 2012). In this framework, it
is assumed that individuals can record their life and as well as learning experiences as asset lists
and activity lists.
In that initial framework suggested, asset and activity lists can be formed by 20-30 various data
fields collected in four groups as definitive fields, location fields, time fields and content fields
(Table 3).
Definitive Fields Content Fields Time Fields Location

Table 3: Data Fields
20. Implementation of Framework
To Design a Prototype
To apply the framework, under Windows 8 Release Preview operating system the software
named AllMyListsMetro, which is prepared in Metro Style Application Development Environment,
used as a base and the software is adopted for this framework.
In this version of AllMyListsMetro users can choose one of 16 different templates to form a list
and suitable items can be added to these lists. In prototype templates such as “Standart List",
“Link List”, "To Do List", "Task List", "Note List", "People List", "Event List", "Place List", "Issue
List", "Appointment List", "Meeting List", "Asset List", "Behavior List", "Feeling List", "Goal List"
and "Feature List" are prepared. Users can form indefinite number of lists by using these
templates. Various information types such as text, picture, voice, video, location, person and
document can be recorded to these lists.
In the original “Life Experiences Management Framework” none of the information belong to the
websites visited by the user is recorded. In recent study, “Link List” is added to the framework’s
architecture and AllMyListsMetro software is updated to enable users to create PLE (Mutlu,
2012c)
21. Implementation of Framework
Main Functions of the Prototype
According to the developed prototype, users form a PLE document, which hosts all their lists
In the application location information can be getting via computer’s GPS. Moreover, files from
computer’s library can be added to image, audio and video fields like this; voice, image and video
can be captured via computer’s microphone and camera.
Figure 6: Lists screen
22. Implementation of Framework
Executing the Framework
Before users start managing their learning experience with this prototype, start up a knowledge base to their previous life
experience and an initial PLE must be formed.
Forming an initial knowledge base about previous life experiences: In order to form a knowledge base which contains records of
people’s previous life experiences we need to create suitable lists for people, places, events, behaviors, emotions, assets,
specifications and all the items together with all the comments related to these items must be entered to these lists:
• Lists of people (family members, friends, colleagues, school friends, etc.)
• Lists of place (the places we have lived, visited, worked, studied, etc.)
• Lists of events (educational events, healthcare events, family events, business life events, memories, journals, etc.)
• Lists of behaviors (habits, routines, culturel behaviors, etc.)
• Lists of emotions (happiness, regrets, doubts, etc.)
• Lists of assets (objects, properties, cultural assets, etc.)
• Lists of specifications (hobbies, achievements, abilities, issues, priorities, etc.)
Seven fundamental list groups have been suggested as a starting point. Individuals can re-arrange these groups according to their
needs. As the cycle is being used at learning experience management stage, upper information knowledge base will be enriched.
Figure 7: “Event List” and “Event List Item” sample
23. Implementation of Framework
Create The Initial PLE: Users can form useful “start pages” by adding the web 2.0 that they are used to tools to
the prototype. At this stage, the PLE will be enhanced as the learner gained more experience. The lists below
can be suggested as start pages:
• Blog and Wiki lists
• E- portfolio and VLE lists
• File share lists (SlideShare, Scribd, Youtube, Flickr, etc.)
• Open Educational Resources (MIT Courseware, OpenLearn, TÜBA Open Course, Yunus Emre, etc.)
• Social Networks (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Google+, etc.)
• Social Bookmarking Websites (Diigo, Delicious, etc.)
Figure 8: “PLE Start Page” list sample
24. Implementation of Framework
Management of Learning Experiences: After users completed two starting stages, they can
manage the learning experience by completing the cycle below:
• Plan: Define goals, aims, duties, task lists, meetings and appointments about learning. If
there are no lists to enter these items, form them.
• Apply: Do your planned learning activities by using PLE tools. Record the content, which
happens outside the PLE (document, audio, Picture, video, etc.) as long as it is possible. In
order to record unplanned learning activities to PLE carry your mobile device with you. At this
stage when you need tools, which are not a part of starting PLE, create lists for them.
• Record: Prepare items related to people, places, events, behaviors, attitudes, emotions,
assets, and enrich the knowledge base of your personal experiences.
• Evaluate: Evaluate your personal and professional development by interpreting your lifelong
learning experiences. As a result of the evaluation enrich the lists and knowledge bases that
contain issues, emotions, features, assets and priorities, at the planning stage.
25. Implementation of Framework
Prototype Properties
In order to simplify and easy management of the process a design in which users can
store their own life and learning experiences “manually” is made. In a similar way
evaluation system is done “intuitively” at that stage.
In this version data will be stored in AllMyListsMetro Application’s local folders. With a
small modification, this data can be stored and accessed in cloud storage
environments such as Microsoft SkyDrive, Google Drive or DropBox.
In AllMyListsMetro prototype individuals can store the entire PLE as a document. They
can form and manage more than one PLE document at the same time. However, it is
assumed that any PLE will cover all the lifelong learning activities of a person, it is
suggested to duplicate PLEs lifelong (time line) not life wide. So, PLEs such as K12 PLE,
graduate PLE, undergraduate PLE, business life PLE all of which is formed in different
time lines and by time the education level of a person increases and differentiates
they will be closed and archived.
26. Discussion and Conclusion
In this study formal, non-formal and informal learning experiences in lifelong
learning process have been suggested within a personal information
management framework in which the individual can record and evaluate
them together with his/her other experiences. With PLE, as a part of this
framework, individuals can do and support their learning experiences.
Eventhough the suggested framework is not tested empirically, it has been
assumed that it can be a postulate in which learners’ can balance their
personal and professional development and set their learning targets more
efficiently
Although, PLEs must be integrated with ever developing lifelogging systems in
order to make process of recording of place, time, content, event, comment
and ideas of individuals’ learning experiences simultaneously or later on more
efficiently. On the other hand, studies must carry on in order adding social
learning processes to architecture.
