This Directory
was started in 2006. Since that time some tools have come
and gone, and others
have changed, adding more features and becoming more integrated. This Directory
has now undergone a complete overhaul and been re-organised
into the following 12 categories.
The Tools in this Directory enable and
support all kinds of learning - formal structured learning, personal learning,
group learning and intra-organisational learning
