“…Institutional learning management systems have to interact and exchange information with tools of the student's PLE [34]. Thus our data can be useful to build a scenario near to the real uses of telematic tools by university students and to help them in self-regulated learning processes adopting a real active role [35], [36].…”

Abstract-This work is a brief view of an exploratory research about Personal Learning Environments developed during these last three years with a Spanish sample. Understanding of PLE can help us to improve our learning designs in order to better development of professional competences of students. Thus, we have implemented a questionnaire with 2.054 final answers of Spanish university students in last course of their degrees. The questionnaire has been previously validated with a mixed methodological approach based on the use of experts, cognitive interviews and a pilot survey. In the end, we can summarize the main results explaining that our Spanish senior students are very different from the extended idea of digital natives. By the opposite, the majority of them are traditional students who prefer common agendas of paper, make notes on paper and use the Internet overall to search but not to create or share.Index Terms-Personal learning environments, university, exploratory research.

“…The main idea of PLE at Graz University of Technology 1 is to integrate existing university services and resources with services and resources from the World Wide Web in one platform and in a personalized way [5,23]. The TU Graz PLE con-tains widgets [5,22,23] that represent the resources and services integrated from the World Wide Web.…”

Abstract. This work introduces a case study on usage of semantic context modelling and creation of Linked Data from logs in educational systems like a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) with focus on improvements and monitoring such systems, in generally, with respect to social, functional, user and activity centric level [7,15]. The case study demonstrates the application of semantic modelling of the activity context, from data collected over two years from the PLE at Graz University of Technology, using adequate domain ontologies, semantic technologies and visualization as reflection for potential technical and functional improvements. As it will be shown, this approach offers easy interfacing and extensibility on technological level and fast insight on statistical and preference trends for analytic tasks.

“…Widgets represent independent resources, services, and applications that are integrated into the PLE [17]. The architecture of the User Interface (UI) of the first PLE prototype (version 1.0) [15] consisted of a sidebar navigation element (see Fig. 1(1)) and several widget zones (see Fig.…”

Abstract-Web 2.0 technologies opened up new perspectives in learning and teaching activities. Collaboration, communication and sharing between learners contribute to the self-regulated learning, a bottom-up approach. The market for smartphones and tablets are growing rapidly. They are being used more often in everyday life. This allows us to support self-regulated learning in a way that learning resources and applications are accessible any time and at any place. This publication focuses on the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) that was launched at Graz University of Technology in 2010. After a first prototype a complete redesign was carried out to fulfill a change towards learner-centered framework. Statistical data show a high increase of attractiveness of the whole system in general. As the next step a mobile version is integrated. A converter for browser-based learning apps within PLE to native smartphone apps leads to the Ubiquitous PLE, which is discussed in this paper in detail.
