Hello everybody! I’m sharing my Personal Learning Environment (PLE) here. I’ve divided it into several categories and chose to show it in Venn diagrams to best represent the intersections between the different uses of the apps I use to learn, study and improve myself.
I added in full color the tools I already use and in transparent the ones I would like to implement in the future.
Here are the categories I’ve divided it into, along with some comments:
- Connecting: For social networks and communication. This also includes Moving, with two social apps for connecting while exercising and traveling, and Google Maps, which I use on a daily basis (yes, I should work on my orienteering skills 😅). A social network I’ve never used but think could be useful to add is X.
- Meeting: This has become a bigger part of my life especially since the COVID pandemic.
- Researching, AI, and Academia: I find it very interesting to look for AI tools that can help us do better and more efficient literature research. If you have any suggestions other than SciSpace, let me know! As for other AI apps, I’d definitely like to get used to using more Gemini and Copilot, for example for images and graphic generation.
- Writing and Analysing: I’ve included software to create text files, reports, notes, and spreadsheets, but also to work on LCA. I’d like to learn to use Overleaf, as it would help me present better-looking reports or a final thesis, for example. I already know a bit of HTML and CSS, but getting used to Overleaf could help me improve more.
- Pictures and Presentations/Videos: The tool I use the most is definitely PowerPoint, but I’d like to improve in using Canva and learn Adobe and CapCut.
- Organization: I already use quite a lot of tools, but I’d like to improve with Notion, which I still find pretty messy, but I believe it can be of great help if properly managed.
- And last but not least, I’ve added Languages and Music, since I’m very passionate about these topics. I’d like to improve playing some instruments like guitar and piano, so I’ve added Yousician, which could guide me with both.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions and see you soon!
Hello Valentina, thank you for sharing your PLE! It is very helpful!
