Abstract: Building communities of learning using digital resources should be a part of curriculum design. Students need to develop skills of collaborative working and reflective practice to enable them to face the challenges of study and research as well as of a career outside the academy. Looking at research in the distance learning field there is much that can be re-purposed for campus based courses. Students are already building networked communities and educators have the opportunity with simple applications such as iGoogle to encourage learners to collect together all their resources both personal and academic in a dynamic Personal Learning Portal.
