The possible connection between PLEs and the institutions


Just read Graham Attwell's post, which refers to Scott Wilson's diagram on "PLEs and the institutions". This goes beyond the discussion of the importance of PLEs and how they are evolving. It directly helps to answer the question of how institutions might be able to embrace the new paradigm. I'm really grateful for this graphical description, because it serves as a map to the necessary change. For larger institutions, the path to such new environment might just not be smooth, but it is inevitable. It is inevitable, because the choice of using the available tools are coming from grassroots and are not part of an institutional plan.
