There are papers from "a symposium on Personal Learning Environments at the the 2nd World Summit on the Knowledge Society (WSKS 2009)." I'm seeing again a reflection of PLEs as collections of widgets. "Widget based mashups seem to be a proper approach to realise self-organisable Personal Learning Environments." I think widgets can be useful - but I think a PLE is more than widgets. Anyhow, there is a lot here to mull over in these five papers and sets of presentation slides.
