So what are elearning tools?
Let me prepare you from the very beginning that apart from elearning tools, this blog will also be discussing elearning techniques and concepts, which though yet cannot be called as tools but sometimes perform similar function of providing structure and building automation.
Now let me come back to the original question, what are elearning tools? From emails, podcasts, blogs, netmeeting, to authoring tools, CMS, LCMS and gaming simulation all come under the category of elearning tools.
According to John Zelenak, “E-learning tools come in three main flavors; a content/course or learning management system (CMS/LMS), synchronous collaboration applications, and all other computer tools/applications including asynchronous collaboration applications. Game play or game simulation software is rapidly becoming the fourth type of readily accepted e-learning tool.”
