Voting for the Top 100 Tools for Learning 2013 – the 7th Annual Survey – is currently underway. The list will be compiled from the votes of learning professionals worldwide.
Voting closes at midnight GMT on Friday 27 September 2013, and the Top 100 Tools list will be revealed on Monday 30 September 2013.
What is a learning tool?
A learning tool is a software tool or online tool or service
- either for your own personal or professional learning
- and/or one for teaching, training or e-learning
Voting guidance
- You will need to name ten different tools for your entry to count.
- Please name ten specific tools rather than generic technologies (e.g. “Blogger” or “WordPress”, rather than “blogs” or “blogging”).
- A vote for Google will be a vote for Google Search, so if you want to vote for other Google tools, you will need to name them individually, e.g. Google Docs/Drive, Google Scholar, Google Maps, etc. A vote for Google Apps will be for the badged collection of Google Apps for Business or Education, not a generic term for all Google applications.
- A vote for Microsoft Office will be split over Word and PowerPoint, so please vote individually for these tools, i.e. Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook etc.
- Only one contribution can be accepted from a vendor company.
- Finally, contributions are accepted only at the discretion of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies.
