As for the integration of LMS in PLE I think that it is not only valuable for learners to make LMS one of their multiple ressources in their PLE. We also have to think the other way round. There is no conradiction between institutional VLEs and LMS producing more space for informal Learning and supporting Learners in creating their PLE. It is rather crucial to use institutional structures to empower learners for both formal and informal learning.

There is no reason why these services should be only accessed from their native built-in environment. Personal learning occurs lifelong and lifewide and institutional learning has an important place in it. Similarly institutional services (distinguished from institutional environments) need their place in PLEs. LMSs provide powerful services for institution-based learning.

Regarding the war among the corporate, centralised VLE/LMS and the personal, autonomous PLE, I think they are compatible. In my own PLE model ( http://bit.ly/g9QQe ), I just see the LMS as a part of the PLE, a tool that the learner can use among others. It can be good for formal and heavily coached training.
