Top 10 etools for learning professionals

My Top 10 Tools list is now online at Jane Hart's Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies http://c4lpt.co.uk/recommended/helenwhitehead.html

It's fascinating reading the 'final' compiled version of the top 100 tools chosen by 223 learning professionals. Delicious social bookmarking comes top by a long way. It's somewhat encouraging that several of mine are also chosen by others, but also that I have one or two that I've discovered for myself...

eXe - for creating elearning NOTan .exe. file!

The project eXe has been brought to my attention. A New Zealand-based open source authoring application, it aims to assist teachers and academics in the publishing of web content without the need to become proficient in HTML or XML markup. Resources authored in eXe can be exported in IMS Content Package, SCORM 1.2, or IMS Common Cartridge formats or as simple self-contained web pages. Obviously an alternative to CouseLab which I looked at last week.

I'm testing out both to compare, and will report back in due course (though don't hold your breath as I'm pretty busy and will have to spread this research over some time!)

Colour picking

Here's an interesting widget that helps you pick co-ordinating colours - particularly good for designing webpages, but also good for colours of any kind!

Note: it doesn't work in Internet Explorer, so you will need Firefox to use it properly, I'm afraid.

Which methods and techniques using new technologies are of real use?

Writing in the digital age is so much more than delivering information, or traditional stories and poems electronically. Digital forms of literature can include text, hyperlinks, multi-linear plots, superlinear narrative, graphics, interactivity, animation... and so much more.
