Abstract
Achieving success in the application of Information and Communications Technology to teaching and learning processes can be challenging. One possible reason for this is the failure to take into account the student as end-user when implementing technologies. In particular, student requirements to access different sources of information and collaborate with other students during their learning can be constrained by the nature of institutional technology which presents barriers to integrating formal and informal learning: students do not only learn in the institutional context but from their experiences throughout the course of daily life. Institutional Learning Management Systems are not enough to meet these needs for increased integration of informal learning, technological practice and formal learning. The efforts to develop effective Personal Learning Environments attempt to solve this, providing a space where students can use the tools they want. But this presents a problem with regard to the management and measurement of learning success. This paper poses some interoperability scenarios to allow the assessment of the personalized informal activity, and in this way, obtain measurable information about the advantages of personalization in Learning.
