Redesigning a Program to Integrate   Personalized Learning Networks (PLNs)  Ann Hill Duin and Joe Moses, Abram Anders, University of Minnesota, TC and Duluth    PLNs frame an intentional strategy for developing social and technical networks in support of lifelong learning and  professional development.​ ​Program redesign integrates personal learning strategies and the sharing of learning  artifacts with a goal of increasing connectedness among learners, professionals, and the broader community.    Qualities of networked learning 

Implications for program redesign 

Networked learning argues that the creation of  connections among people, information, and tools is a  rich context of both situated and informal learning  processes in support of these capacities. 

Program begins with development and evaluation of a  student’s current PLN, i.e., her incoming competencies,  connections, research interests, and use of tools in  support of professional development.  Learner begins to identify thought leaders to follow via  social networks, identifying and interacting with key  people inside and outside of assigned coursework. 

Networked learning

Builds on applications and services that are readily  available on the web and that professionals use  Extends the value of social and professional  networking  Develops essential skills of digital literacy 

Networked learning addresses emergent learning and  workplace needs by leveraging social interaction and  modes of collective intelligence to make the work we  already do more productive and available for  organizational innovation. 

Collaboration with a student’s workplace or internship to  position research plan (relevance).  Sharing of work throughout courses via social  networking. 

Networked learning leverages collective intelligence,  connectivism, crowdsourcing, situated learning,  participatory culture, open education, open source, and  social pedagogies. 

Through the continued PLN development across  courses, students sharpen skills and develop  knowledge for finding, evaluating, managing, creating,  and sharing information. Fostering of connections with  alumni, STC, and google communities to identify topics  and projects of relevance to the broader community. 

Networked learning​ ​creates a personalized briefing (like  a presidential briefing) curated by trusted people from  relevant sources addressing significant topics and  news. 

Development of personalized briefing and ongoing  sharing of insights, bringing an expanded set of  knowledge/resources to program/classes/work/career  development.  Continuous design of PLN visualizations, identifying  strong vs. weak connections and implications for future  work.    Final project (capstone) includes presentation of the  evolution of a learner’s PLN, its impact on workplace  innovation, and plans for continued expansion.    Evidence of connectedness is in the form of learning  artifacts that demonstrate learner competency while  providing content of value to others.
