I was asked by Grainne Conole to record a short video on my views about PersonalLearningNetworks, VLEs vs PLEs and other related topics, as a contribution toward her unkeynote with Ricardo Torres Kompen for the PLE conference in Aviero, Portugal this week. Unported License.

If someone had called, I would have said that this is project has at it''s core a mistaken idea: that social media and personallearningnetworks can be directed from the top down. It''s because these are individual connections created by the individual, and that is their value: they are personal.
