3. Tools

This category features learning projects related to ‘tools'.

In general one might distinguish between two type of tools: those ones you have installed at you PC (e.g. word processing, drawing or calculation software, instant messaging programmes, or web browser) and those ones that are browser based out at the web (online editing tools like e.g. google docs, search engines, forums, wikis, or multimedia solutions such as youtube or community spaces like e.g. facebook and myspace).

Those tools can help you to compile your own work, to share it with others or to communicate and collaborate with peers.

Do you know which type of tools exist, how to use them to support your learning activities, and which of them are suitable for which purpose?
