Abstract

The integration of ChatGPT in Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) has emerged as a promising approach to personalized learning in tertiary education. ChatGPT is believed to have the potential to transform traditional higher education into a more personalized, quality-driven, and student-centered learning experience that fosters critical thinking, self-regulated learning, and creativity. While recent studies have highlighted the potential benefits of ChatGPT in enhancing personalized learning experiences, there are several risks and challenges that need to be addressed. This paper reviews relevant literature on ChatGPT and PLEs and identifies key risks and challenges associated with their integration, including ethical concerns, data privacy, technical issues, and user acceptance. Meanwhile, the paper also proposes ways and thoughts for the future implementation of ChatGPT in PLEs. The paper concludes that ChatGPT has significant potential to facilitate a new round of educational revolution which pushes educators to reconsider why to teach, how to teach, and what to teach.
