eLearning Tools

I ran across two great eLearning resources today, so I thought I’d share them here.

The first resource is a directory of over 1,000 eLearning tools. Both free and commercial tools are listed here. This is a great place to start if you’re ready to learn about new technologies, such as wikis, podcasting, or simulations. This directory is maintained by Jane Hart, who runs The Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies.

The second resource is a post on Tony Karrer’s blog that talks about eLearning Software. He describes several types of tools and offers examples of each. Be sure to check it out.

I try to devote time each week to keep up with emerging tools and technologies. My goal is to find better ways to make training interesting and engaging (instead of boring) for learners. Resources like the ones above make this task much easier for me. I hope they help you, too… Enjoy!
