Abstract
Many personal learning environments (PLEs) are generic collections of available Web 2.0 tools and aggregated information sources. We argue that PLEs are targeting special learning needs of learners in their learning communities. Based on learning content of Chinese Three Hundred Tang Poems, we propose and realize a context-aware multi-granular tagging model to enhance PLEs for language learning.
