Top 10 E-Learning Tools
Some things work really well for e-learning; other things, not so good. How to find out what’s truly valuable?
Jane Hart, head of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies, in Somerset, England, wanted to know. So in July she asked 64 e-learning experts to list their top 10 tools.
The most frequently cited item in her survey was the Firefox Web browser. Next was del.icio.us, the social bookmarking tool. That was followed by Web-based e-mail, specifically Gmail from Google.
What’s interesting is that none of those programs are education-specific. Skype instant messaging, Google search, and Eblogger were also very popular. What they all seem to have in common is that they are tools for sharing information.
So is information sharing really the same thing as e-learning? —Josh Fischman
