The first in a series of Bazaar productions

 

This podcast is about the ideas behind the Personal Learning environment. It refers to the origins of the PLE, in dissatisfaction with older forms of educational technology and concerns over institutional control. However it goes on to question whether the PLE is really the answer, suggesting the use of freely available Web 2 tools for learning might offer a better way forward.
