Abstract:
The paper explores the functionalities of eight start pages and
considers their usefulness when used as a mashable platform for deployment
of personal learning environments (PLE) for self-organized learners. The
Web 2.0 effects and eLearning 2.0 strategies are examined from the point
of view of how they influence the methods of gathering and capturing data,
information and knowledge, and the learning process. Mashup technology
is studied in order to see what kind of components can be used in PLE
realization. A model of a PLE for self-organized learners is developed and
it is used to prototype a personal learning and research environment in the
start pages Netvibes, Pageflakes and iGoogle.
