The connections of the intertwined relationships between vast majority of learners and course management systems the answer to our education system of today depends upon the facilitator and the learner’s life experiences.

Setting up a personal learning environment might be the key answer to the CMS or PLE’s and web 2.0 tools technology establishing a groundbreaking start into our 21st century educational systems. The Course Management Systems makes the instructors life easier to post information on the web and allows relatively easy creation of on-line course content and subsequently teaching and management of that course which include interaction with students taking the course. The learner might just loose their significant in regards to learning.

Teachers still need to implement researched based theories with real life situations to establish lifetime learners, as well as, motivation signifying their learners’ purpose in life. Student’s today are not all able to grasp the new instructional design platforms, but it is up to the teacher to guide their learners to a higher levels of thinking at any age level to build significance in learning. Teachers still need some guidelines and a well executed managed personal learning environment; where designed knowledge is established, like Eric Jensen’s brain-based theories and Gardner’s multiple intelligences, as well as, Bloom’s taxonomy to develop strong state and national standards for accountability purposes f for this new 21st century new educational system.

As a learner content in a rote manner had no significance to me. It was only when applied my own knowledgeable life experiences and research then motivation became the answer. This developed a sense of self worth and purpose for my life long learning. The result where in my grades, most of my lower courses in college where low and when challenged with higher thinking and interesting content my grades where higher. I feel that when the students of the 21st century learner need to be able to connect with the world around them to create and build upon communities to establish their life’s goals in education.

It is up to the teacher and the new schools to develop the right personal learning environment that will enhance our learners motivation and desire to learn through the CMS and global resources to establish life time learner for the 21st new educational systems for the future of our students.
