1000's of E-Learning Tools

1000's of E-Learning Tools

Through a connection I made on Twitter I have been sharing tweets with a group of individuals working or interested in instructional design. The primary person in this group has her own website and connected through it she has 1000's of useful tools for e-learning.  She has nicely sorted all the tools into categories and you will probably learn a thing or two about types of tools and what they are called.

Categories include:

• Tools for creating, delivering and managing learning and performance support solutions
  
• Tools for managing your own learning and productivity, for sharing resources, as well as group collaboration
  

50 or 60 subcategories exist under the main two categories.

Boxee - Impressive, but Limited

Boxee (http://www.boxee.tv) strives to bring all of your media entertainment into one location while also using social interaction to recommend new content.  This means that everything locally on your computer will be integrated into Boxee as well as internet sites like youtube.com cnn.com etc.. 

It currently is in its Alpha release, but has looks promising.  The one big flaw currently is its inability to bring content from Hulu.com into its interface.  Apparently Hulu doesn't want Boxee to pull its content at this time, so some key content will be missing.

For a quick video explaining Boxee - Provided by Boxee - See below.
