Wk 4 PLE example #2 - AJ Cann vs. Martin Weller - SMS / CMAPtools site example

AJ Cann's PLE

It's funny but this PLE causes me to wonder if this was graded or shown to someone - like a group or presentation. This PLE is a bunch of SMS which is valid but I have no concept of how this individual "learns". It is interesting because it can be help me in my own PLE by offering me new sources but there is no sequence, no priorities, no line labels, no arrows, and all of this causes me frustration or worse if I am suppose to understand this diagram.

Compare Cann's to Martin Weller's below:

Weller's diagram is similar to Cann's but at least I can see Weller's purposes for the SMS he uses. This is shown by the direction of arrows and line labels.  Plus there is a central point, with a central question.
