'I absolutely love software, apps, applications, extensions, plug-ins, add-ons, whatever you want to call it. I started in computers when DOS (Disk Operating System) was at its peak, I still remember knowing all the commands and I thought it was the coolest thing ever invented. I remember thinking, thank you God for not taking me down the path of becoming a Priest, which I was studying for, otherwise I wouldn’t have discovered my passion for computers.

As you will know I finalised the 5th Annual survey of Top 100 Tools for Learning in the middle of November 2011, and at that time placed the presentation on Slideshare.

Today, the expectations of learners are much different than they were only a few years ago. Much of what is currently rolled up monolithic, one-size-fits-all courses must give way to small but relevant content updated and delivered continuously to learners based on their individual profiles or needs. In other words, learning needs to go Agile. In a recent blog post by Bersin & Associates, Josh Bersin provides a great description of how Agile applies to training: “Agile is also built on the u

[ UPDATE - Just wanted to give credit to the Social Learning Community on Yammer for inspiring this blog post. I think this topic is important to the eLearning community as a whole and so I'm happy to extend the conversation to the readers of this blog.] As a member of the eLearning/learning/training/education community it feels like the alphabet soup of terms has become muddled again.

Social media gets attention for enabling communications among diverse networks and, among learning and development thinkers, for its capacity to support collaboration and learning.

If you’re alone in your office, whether literally because you’re a work-from-home freelancer or figuratively because you’re the only one in your role in your

Cathy N. Davidson first flashed on to my radar last year when the Times Higher Education news magazine invited me to review her new book Now You See It.
