Steve Wheeler, University of Plymouth, 2011 Personalisation of learning means ensuring that individual differences are acknowledged and supported Personal Learning Network Personal Web Tools Personal Learning Environment PLEs are not only personal web tools and personal learning networks.

Learning content is not as important now as where (or who) to connect to, to find it. PWTs are any web tools, (usually Web 2.0) chosen by learners to support their lifelong learning.
