Abstract

In this paper we aim to explore the potentiality of a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) as an aid to an academic staff in the context of their daily work. Personal Learning Environments may be the key to the possibility of personalizing a learning atmosphere within campus walls giving more autonomous possibilities to learners and to academics. Taking into consideration the advanced of technologies and the integration and interoperability of academic, administrative and learning technologies, we intend to conceptualize and simulate a personal environment that will help academics to organize their daily activities. We have entitled this model a Personal Academic Environment (PAE). A PAE is a webtop application that allows users to customize their work area with all the academic information that is important even if from the outside of the confines of the university.
