However, since 2004, with the rapid development of all kinds of social software Web2.0 technology, coupled with the advent of the era of knowledge explosion and the pursuit of personalized learning (Personalized), in the face of the era of knowledge of digital learning new appeal and the social demands for talents, in the rich tools, rich resources of today, how should we the reform of learning, to try to diversification and individuation in professional development, and the self can successfully molded in various fields and the practice of industry elite?
