6. PLEs are systems that help learners take control of
and manage their own learning.
This includes providing support for learners to set their
own learning goals, manage their learning;
managing both content and process;
communicate with others in the process of learning
and thereby achieve learning goals.

13. Some advanced students during the PLE building self-orient and arrange content, knowledge and contacts in
two different networks: personal and professional
The transition from PLE to PfLN passes through a middle step of PLN set up
This process is dynamic and continuously
adapted to the present students’ interests
In some cases the boarders between PLN and PfLN are blurred, because
of coincidence of personal and professional interests
PLE can be presented as a core for
networks expanding
The PLE building supports students in socialization and network
processes set up

18. Conclusion
• A model for PLE building is proposed
• The modified Rogers’ model for competence development
lifecycle in a learning network is used in order to be examined
the main phases in competence progress of each student
• Social networks contribute to the processes by which learners
meet and communicate, and pool, share, learn about and
reuse their resources, knowledge and competencies
• PLE building is found to be a core for PLN and PfLN deployment
• The transition from PLE to PfLN is an important step that supports
students to become self-organized and life-long learners
