Personal Learning Network

Personal learning networks are a way to connect with other learners and like minded people to help develop your skills and knowledge. This could be used by teachers to keep improving and changing how the class learns by adding new things or for students to share research or help each other on work.

An example of a personal learning network in action would be the Facebook page for North Highland College Computer Science, where students can connect with each other over social media to help each other and lecturers can post updates on timetables, assessments and exams.

From personal experience my network has helped me with more than just studies, I managed to gain an internship in France by finding someone with interests on gaming through reddit and built a friendship on discord.
