The authors of the Horizon Report (I cannot recommend the Horizon Report series highly enough) succinctly define the personal web as "a term coined to represent a collection of technologies that confer the ability to reorganize, configure and manage online content rather than just viewing it".

Digital technology has unshackled learning, providing learners a wealth of opportunities to learn what they want to learn, how they want to learn, and where they want to learn with just a few clicks of the mouse. It can also be a virtual classroom tool or a virtual learning environment (VLE). What are digital learning platforms?

Ah, the learning management system ( LMS ) ( VLE to some people). One of the central ed technologies, as well as one of the most controversial, and yet also accepted as a nearly universal commonplace. I’ve been tracking it since the 20th century.

And that's surveillance.

Many of the other commercially available LMS (learning management systems) and VLE (virtual learning environment) platforms aren’t doing any better. To ignore the potential that online learning and new technology has to offer is to be like King Canute trying to order back the sea. And of course Moodle isn’t the only culprit.

But many of those folks utterly misunderstood Prince’s relationship to technologies – much like many, I’d argue, misconstrue what the Luddites in the early nineteenth century were actually so angry about when they took to smashing looms. And thus Prince was viewed by some as a Luddite. It was never about the loom per se.
