I am working on a presentation in a few weeks about eLearning authoring tools. A high level overview for learning and development types who don't actually use the tools, but want to know what's out there, when you might use it, and some of the pros and cons. Now, I'm not much of a tool user myself. I've got some understanding of tools. But I would love the input of some actual tool users.

Well, here's the motherload of all developer tool lists compliments of Mashable.com . Let me know if you find something cool and use it for an elearning project. It's going to take me weeks to get through this list, but I'm glad its there when I need to look for this kind of stuff. I've already found some seriously cool nuggets that I'm hoping will be as cool as they look.

Many of these tools and services are free or have a free trial period, which can encourage you to experiment in a small way at first. Each tool fulfills at least one of these criteria: encourages collaboration; enables user-generated content or input; provides a way to share; and facilitates informal or formal learning. It  also integrates with a few open source eLearning tools. Do you have a training or information need that could benefit from a social media strategy? Understanding the universe of options can help you match your need to the best approach.
