The Development of Personal Learning Environments in Higher Education explores how today’s knowledge-based, learner-centered virtual platforms, which often limit teaching to a complimentary facilitation role, can compromise with the requirements and regulations of colleges and universities. Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) driven by culturally responsive teaching and learner autonomy represent a shift in the higher education paradigm, but how can scholars, designers, administrators, and faculty ensure effective, institutionally compatible construction and management of these systems? This book offers forward-thinking insights into the variety of student-centered learning interactions, particularly culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogies, that can be integrated into PLEs. Attending to quality assessment rubrics, the nuances of stakeholders’ needs, and theoretically sound frameworks, these cross-cultural, interdisciplinary chapters explore how leaders, instructors, technologists, and learners can form a precise yet flexible ecosystem to fully realize PLEs in which co-created, intercultural narratives yield rich, relevant digital learning experiences.

Reviews for The Development of Personal Learning Environments in Higher Education: Promoting Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learner Autonomy

“This new book fills a lacuna in the literature on teaching and learning in higher education. It offers insights into how we can leverage Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) as a lens to deepen our understanding of the whole enterprise of Higher Education. It is a timely publication that is poised to raise our awareness of the importance of PLEs that utilize Culturally Responsive Teaching approaches across various domains in higher education. As a pioneering piece of work that integrates Culturally Responsive Pedagogical principles in PLEs, the book is a significant contribution to the field of Personal Learning Environments and higher education. I applaud the editors for advancing the field through their own theorization of CRT-PLEs, along with the introduction of four assessment scales for PLEs, covering perspectives from teachers and teaching, learners and learning, academic administration, and ICT.” —Lawrence Jun Zhang, Professor of Applied Linguistics & TESOL in the School of Curriculum and Pedagogy and Associate Dean for the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland, New Zealand
