Personal Learning Environment design and the professors' educative training on ICT

Resum

This paper belongs to a PLE (Personal Learning Environment) research, whichis in a development phase. This research is about PLE design, production andevaluation, and is designed with the goal of qualifying university staff in theusing of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).The research presents four revised phases, all of them focused in methodology and working plan: a) PLE design, production and evaluation; b) pilot study; c) virtual environment dissemination; d) development of the final report.

Owing to the fact that the research is in a development phase we don’t have
results.  It’s our purposal to obtain different scientific-technical taxes and
benefits with this project, for example:  identify the most significant aspects 
for the faculty’s training in order to incorporate ICT in teachers’ professional
development; create a PLE with the aim of developing an environment for the
faculty’s training on ICT; recognize the impact that different tools have in the
faculty training; become aware of the necessary methodological change that
involves incorporate the PLE in the European Space for Higher Education
(ESHE) at university.
Before concluding this paper, we would like to present our intention to
incorporate some proposals from PLE Congress. (Julio 2010, Cornellà)
