<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dave Cormier has spent the better part of the last eight years attempting to create the perfect environment for learning. During that period his ideas of what constituted perfect have changed, but the driving
force behind his learning philosophy was to bring the student to the middle of the discussion, to allow them to control their learning. It was, in essence, to allow them the room to become responsible for their learning. In that time he has moved from home
grown system, through LMSs, and PLE platforms. Just recently Cormier has come to think of the internet as the perfect learning system. (Read more here) Join us for an informative webcast in which Cormier will offer an introduction to the language around PLEs,
PLNs and LMSs, and then move on to a broader discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of seeing the internet as our learning software.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

social media. It's really all about the tools themselves! Our aim is to demonstrate how to use one tool in each webinar in under 60 minutes with time for Q&A built in. More tools coming soon for 2011!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
