En el presente trabajo se realiza una revisión del concepto de Entorno Personal deAprendizaje (EPA), de los escenarios en los que se han utilizado, de las principales problemáticas y hallazgos. Se revisan los estudios sobre aprendizaje autorregulado y EPA, así como los estudios sobre creencias epistemológicas y el aprendizaje en internet para proponerlos como variables individuales relacionadas con la construcción y uso de un EPA. Posteriormente se realiza una propuesta sobre las actividades a fomentar al utilizar en este tipo de entornos, las cuales se debentomar en cuenta para el desarrollo de situaciones instruccionales.
