ABSTRACT
Social media has a particularly strong role in many types of activities today. It has also provided new kinds of possibilities, ways to act and be in contact with other people in networks and communities. Learning environment developers have noticed the potential of social media applications and many new theoretical constructs have been built to help apply the tools for learning. One of the most promising ones has been the PLE (Personal Learning Environment) which will allow learners to control their own learning better. PLE can also help to see learning in a more holistic way because it includes operating environments and networks people already use (also in leisure time). But PLE has also raised certain issues that have not been thoroughly considered, like continua of distributed-integrated architecture solutions, individual-collective processes and formal-informal operating environment, although they present several challenges for student learning, motivation and educational organizations.
