Social and Collaborative Learning

If you need to review and compare alternative web conferencing and online collaboration tools you should give a look to Online Meeting Tools Review, a web service providing basic information for 35 different tools.

I have already recommended this service in May 2012, but the service has been significantly improved and updated.

For each service included you get a review, a direct link to its home page and free trial offering, and an overall rating score.

With the Basic Comparison Tool you can review up to four different conferencing services side-by-side for no additional fee: https://webconferencing-test.com/en/compare-tools-basic

With the Pro version of the same Comparison Tool you can get up to 12 different tools compared into a report that is sent straight to your email without any cost. The only requirement is that you accept the option of being later contacted by one of the companies you have requested to be compared.

Free to use.

Discussion is at the heart of good learning.

Collaboration!

Watch the tutorial! This Collaborative Visual Board seems to be a great tool for virtual and face-to-face classrooms and meetings. Really worth trying. 

Robin Good´s insight tells you more.

This is another interesting platform that allows for visual collaboration.  These sorts of posts make me want to narrow down my topic to just online visual collaboration and information sharing!

Comments on this are interesting...

Obvious applications for language learning, but perhaps also for teacher education if you write about what you're doing, then share what you want?

Summer is a good time for reflection and considering what happens next.
