Will PLEs Become Ubiquitous

through the Use of Widgets?


Taraghi B., Mühlburger H., Ebner M., Nagler W.
Nowadays Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) are described as the use of different Social Software tools for learning and teaching. The use of common web browsers often is a precondition
to fulfil the requirements of social software tools. In this publication a new perspective as well as a couple of prototypes is presented to allow a more independent solution in this context. With the
help of the new JavaFX technology so called Widgets are programmed which can be used on different devices as well as different operating systems. Furthermore also the web browser can be
replaced by a browser instance. It can be summarized that through the use of Widgets the learning environment of the future can be more individualized and personalized.
