This paper looks at the intersection of personal learning environment and critical information literacies and suggests " that PLE scholarship informed by CIL scholarship, and vice versa, will yield a deeper understanding of modern learning contexts as well as a more holistic and responsive learner framework." The paper introduces with a dense but reasonable description of the motivations for PLEs and outlines some of the thinking that informs the concept, both in terms of learning landscapes (eg., 'open', 'broad') and learning approaches (eg., 'learner-driven'). "PLE and CIL approaches to learning could be used to redesign the research assignment and frame inquiry as a process that is social and connected as well as tolerant of new and emerging modes of communication," write the authors.
