I'm giving some ARED training down here in Tassie and having some difficulty getting participants all together in one spot at any one time. To make things a bit easier I put together a little moodle course.
For the last couple of days I've been looking at Kaltura, an open source video hosting platform.
To test it out I posted a few dozen short clips taken from out e-learning innovations induction day, held here back in May. I'm afraid the actual editing was a bit rough (I was using another open source tool: Avidemux, and it has a few rough edges). Here's how they turned out when put together into a playlist (wait a bit and they should auto-cue once you hit the play button):
For the third year running Jane Hart is collecting information about the most popular tools used by e-learning professionals. You can view the current 'Top 100 tools' along with comparisons to their previous years rankings on the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies website. There are some interesting new tools here towards the bottom of the list which I hadn't come across before.Better than that though is the opportunity to add your own input to the survey by contributing your own list of top 10 tools.
