Most Popular Learning Tools

Collaboration is certainly an important part of learning.  We certainly experienced this as we collaborated to put our syllabus together for the rest of the class.   The creative process is not a straightforward process, but one that is usually messy before true brilliance begins to shine through.  Much like the experience we shared late one Friday night in the basement of the School of Ed building . . .

I was wondering if there are other examples of this collaboration out there in the real world.  An example of something from our industry, learning and performance, not necessarily product enhancement or problem solving.  I found a very interesting endeavor to name the top 10 tech learning tools from the Center for Learning & Performance Technologies (C4LPT).  They are currently in their annual process of gathering the best thinking from the world around them and creating the top 10 list.  Currently, the top five are:

Twitter
UTube
Google Docs
Delicious
SlideShare

Wow, look at that!  Four of five topics we identified or have already discussed!  Not to mention the next five topics.  Again, many of the topics we wanted to discuss.  We are brilliant and have a pulse on the current technologies out there.  The best thing, we can go in an vote ourselves to help shape the listing.  What a great example of collaboration within our own industry.  Check out the website for some good information on social networking, which I am sure will provide a great deal of processing opportunity for me in the future!
