Description/Abstract:

This workshop addressed the importance of a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) and what guidance institutions provide to new students arriving to university with regard to using useful learning tools effectively. Workshop participants were made up of TEL expertise from across the HEI sector. Three groups of 5 or 6 people worked on the following tasks:

TASK 1: The Perfect PLE - Design a PLE to most enhance a new student's learning experience at university. The group may elect a specific subject area the student has chosen to study.

TASK 2: TEL Manifesto - Draft up an institutional TEL Manifesto intended for new students that enhances learning and enriches their online user experience.

The Padlet links within the SlideShare go to the online workspace the groups used during the session to collate their findings.
