They might be organised around personal or professional learning interests, but they are uniquely yours. For example, you may have a shared interest with someone else around a particular topic, perhaps home-brewing or photography, but the intersecting zones of your PLNs would be different because your own network is based on connections that you form yourself, and conversations that you have with others. You determine who is in your network and how you engage with them.\n<\/p>\n<p>PLNs are also formed around the goal of learning. They are made up of &#8216;nodes&#8217; &#8211; the people and organisations that you recognise as being important to your learning &#8211; and the connections between them. Connections between the nodes are built and strengthened through shared interests, conversations, and other interactions, like posting links to useful articles, sharing resources, or offering insights from your own experience.\n<\/p>\n<p>You might communicate with your learning network through the same tools you use primarily for social purposes, but PLNs, at their core, are meant to promote your own growth, development, and understanding in an area that is meaningful to you.\n<\/p>\n<p>Personal learning networks do highlight the social nature of learning, though, revealing that the ways you interact with your network might blur the boundary between your social identity and your identity in academic and\/or professional spheres.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \nNewPP limit report\nCPU time usage: 0.034 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.039 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 256\/1000000\nPreprocessor generated node count: 1568\/1000000\nPost\u2010expand include size: 7938\/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 5241\/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 7\/40\nExpensive parser function count: 0\/100\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- Saved in parser cache with key we_en-mw_:pcache:idhash:187962-0!*!*!*!*!2!* and timestamp 20210128034445 and revision id 1083494\n -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"visualClear\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<ul class=\"pager\">\n<li class=\"previous\">\n            <a href=\"\/extafr100\/modules\/collaborator\/collaborator-activity-2\">\u2190 Previous<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<li class=\"next\">\n            <a href=\"\/extafr100\/modules\/collaborator\/connectivism\">Next \u2192<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer><\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets \u201d \u2014Leonardo da Vinci \u2190 Previous Next \u2192<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2212,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2234","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/extafr100\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/extafr100\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/extafr100\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/extafr100\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/extafr100\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2234"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/extafr100\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2234\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2235,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/extafr100\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2234\/revisions\/2235"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/extafr100\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/extafr100\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
