Experiencing Personal Learning Environments and Networks using a 3D Space MetaphorKeywords: Personal Learning Environment , Learning Process Indicators , Cooperative Learning , Web 3D technologies , 3D representations , Semantic tagging , Virtual reality Abstract: The paper describes our proposal for adopting 3D spatial representation, based on suitable indications and metrics, for the evaluation of experiences conducted in a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) and its social extension, the Personal Learning Network (PLN).The use of 3D space is a mean for integrating different perspectives (e.g., structured and non-structured learning) but also to foster the cooperation between users. Moreover, information coming from the use of 3D space can represent a precious feedback for better understanding ongoing learning activities, but it will be extremely useful for enhancing and improving the development of existing PLE-PLN support tool.
