Although I have relied on Diigo for a long time for saving and tagging bookmarks, the site hasn’t been actively developed in several years. However, on a free account, the uploaded content is deleted after 7 days–this is meant for quick reviews of sites, not for long-term hosting. This might be a viable alternative.

Despite my tongue-in-cheek tweet however, digital self-directed learning hasn’t become the norm. Maybe the “new normal” is merely short term; perhaps over time our solutions will diversify. We haven’t really had a choice have we? Will we revert to our previous ways, or is the genie out of the bottle?

What I also believe, buttressed by others, is that there haven’t been any results from neuroscience that are essential for learning science design. I feel similarly about the term brain-based. Isn’t it a wee bit redundant to say so? For one, folks have been talking about neuroscience. Yes, learning is brain-based.
