Questler has been listed as a personal learning environment (PLE) to investigate by the Innovative educator blog, in a post that talks about 5 Things You Can Do to Begin Developing Your Personal Learning Network.

We think Questler has two qualities of a personal learning environment based on the Wikipedia page on  the History of personal learning environments:

1. Questler enables its users to define their own learning goals which is what we call Learning Topics in Questler.

2. Questler enables its users to communicate with their learning buddies or other users through their learning process. Wether its a Query, Discovery, Observation, Research, Story or Media by enabling comments on every quest as well as enabling the user to select who do they want to discuss their quest with.

However, the third aspect mentioned  in the wikipedia article is the ability to manage the content and process of the learning done by the individual.

Questler does enable it’s users to manage the content of thier everyday learning however , it does not deal with the process, we believe the process is the individual’s everyday life at home or at work, the core of why Questler is an informal learning network.
