(photo by Kitty Terwolbeck ) There are lots of online tools that you can use for free or for very little money. If you want to try screencasting, start with the free version of screencast-o-matic. Ning - or other paid online platforms I hesitated whether Ning had to be included in the list because it is not a free tool.

With all this talk about economic disaster, I thought I'd offer some "free e-learning stuff" to help make your day/week/month a little brighter. If we all posted a few free things then each of us could benefit each other and expand our own knowledge as well as others.a Free Online Book titled " E-Learning Concepts and Techniques ".

Observations from the beginning of a high school project with Ning, Animoto, and Flickr. Most of the insight is around how Ning facilitates conversations between students and lets the teacher join the discussion. Students are engaged with Ning; they are personalizing their spaces and giving each other constructive feedback.

Today, I saw a post on our Free - Web 2.0 Just yesterday (after having joined this ning as my first ning ever) I found a ning on the topic of Moodle, and I posted my question there. Yesterday I created a screen cast on LinkedIn for Finding Expertise. But how long do I have to wait to receive a response to my query?

The first week of our Free - Web 2.0 I have been part of Ning groups before, but find it overwhelming, very quickly because there seems to be multiple inputs for information. Even as an organizer, when I get into the Ning group, I feel overwhelmed. I don't know about ning or even facebook. Another set of questions.

Jane Hart recently put out a list of the 25 (free) tools every learning professional should have in their toolbox. What is more they are all free, which makes them very useful for those on a low (or non-existent) budget or simply for experimentation and exploration of the widening e-learning space. Several tools caught my eye.

Ning really makes it easy to do one of these. I have a bunch of random thoughts on this and I'm hoping that folks will chime in. Cost is very low.

However, when we just did this for the LA CTO Forum , we created a LinkedIn group so that members could search profiles and created a private Ning community for discussions, events, and communication. I often find that Ning isn't that great for specialized content. Q : So are people helping you with customer situations for free ?
