Top 100 Tools for Learning 2012
              6th Annual Survey
                                    Compiled by Jane Hart
   from the votes of 500+ learning professionals worldwide

What is a learning tool?
   Any tool that you could use to create or deliver learning
   content/solutions for others, or a tool you use for your own personal
   learning.

The Top 100 Tools for Learning 2012 has been compiled from the
votes of 582 learning professionals worldwide (55% working in
education and 45% in non-educational organizations).

Each tool is listed on a separate slide which provides:

 A brief description including cost, availability, link and summary of change
  from last year

 A list of rankings in previous surveys

 A quick view of where/how it is mainly being used, i.e. for Pers
  (personal/professional use), Edu (educational use), Ent (internal enterprise
  use). NOTE: absence of a tick in a box does not mean the tool is not, cannot
  nor should not be used in that way, rather that from an analysis of the
  contributions to the list that is where it is currently commonly being used.

The Top 100 Tools for Learning 2012 has been compiled from the votes of 582 learning professionals worldwide (55% working in education and 45% in non-educational organizations). Each tool is listed on a separate slide which provides:  A brief description including cost, availability, link and summary of change from last year  A list of rankings in previous surveys  A quick view of where/how it is mainly being used, i.e. for Pers (personal/professional use), Edu (educational use), Ent (internal enterprise use). NOTE: absence of a tick in a box does not mean the tool is not, cannot nor should not be used in that way, rather that from an analysis of the contributions to the list that is where it is currently commonly being used.
