By now, most of traditional learning has been moved into a continuum of blended learning, as defined by Jones [1]. In this context, especially ways for distributing learning material and contacting each other have completely changed. Learning Management Systems (LMS) are, in the majority of cases, employed to provide a basis for modern learning. Whether it comes to distance learning or not, all required material, including additional information for further reading and tasks controlling the learner’s success, is provided online such that learners can easily access all desired information any time and any place. Communication has been detached from specific points or periods in time as well. This digitalization of the learning process also bears new challenges, which have to be faced by learners as well as lecturers. The concept, introduced in this paper, addresses these facts by delivering a service to set the stage for a personal learning environment adjusted to the needs of a single user. Hence, it provides facilities for integrated maintenance and search in heterogeneous personal learning material.engPersonal Learning ContentEffectively Managing and Processing Personal Learning Contentconferenceobject10.1007/978-3-642-03426-8_43
