Personal Learning Environments are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning.

Personal Learning Environments integrate both formal and informal learning approaches into a single experience.

 Learning Management Systems, which unlike the  PLE take an institution-centric (or course-centric) view of learning.

a Personal Learning Environment is a facility for an individual to access, aggregate, configure and manipulate digital artefacts of their ongoing learning experiences."

The structure, features and policies of most  VLE implementations tend to perpetuate the traditional instructivist models of education. The primary purpose of the systems is to organise course content for transmission to enrolled students.

In January 2006, Blackboard Inc., the leading commercial vendor of academic  VLEs, was granted US patent 6,988,138 on "Internet-based education support system and methods", even though there is evidently a long history of  virtual learning environments. It does not appear that the patent, if enforced, has any direct bearing on the emergence of  PLEs, although the patent action may foster a backlash against  VLEs.

A WebTop is a new class of web-served applications enabling single-screen one-click preconfigured access to other web services which can be nominated by the user, for example photo sharing (eg FlickR), online calendar, weblogs, integrated feed aggregator, online word processor (eg Google Docs), shared spreadsheet (eg Google Spreadsheet), shared whiteboard (eg GE Imagination Cubed), social bookmarking (eg del.icio.us, Furl) and consolidated productivity services (eg Zoho). So far they are primarily aimed at business users, but many of their features match what is prescribed for a PLE. Examples include YouOS, 30Boxes and NetVibes.
