"I've spent an inordinately long time writing a whitepaper on mobile learning trying to expound our thoughts about it and how it might be used in the workplace. I've been doing some research around it and I've documented some of the better links I've come across. Again, as with the links I posted about Games and Simulation, these aren't categorized in any way nor does the order assume any significance.
If you're considering mobile learning in any shape or form, I'd suggest you give these a browse. One of the travails of my paper writing (still continues) was that good web resources were quite hard to find, so be spared the ordeal, this is a good place to start."

"Over the course of this event we will be looking at a small range of web based tools that will enable you to create motivating online language learning activities for your students.
These can be used either in class or set as homework. You will have the chance to understand how these tools work, find out how to use them with students and be able to try your hand at creating and sharing activities with other teachers.

Nik's Learning Technology Blog: 10 Teacher Development Task for Web 2.0 Tools - 6 views

I created a number of tasks for teachers which I hope will help develop their ability to use technology and to evaluate and create materials using web based tools.

This is a subject that deserves some thought. For the most part, online conferences (and online strands of face-to-face) seem to be perceived as (and often subtly created as) alternative to the "real thing" that are inferior but better-than-nothing. Reminds me of the way distance education and online learning (mostly) used to be seen the same way in comparison to their face-to-face counterparts...

Digital Research Tools (DiRT)
This wiki collects information about tools and resources that can help scholars (particularly in the humanities and social sciences) conduct research more efficiently or creatively. Whether you need software to help you manage citations, author a multimedia work, or analyze texts, Digital Research Tools will help you find what you're looking for. We provide a directory of tools organized by research activity, as well as reviews of select tools in which we not only describe the tool's features, but also explore how it might be employed most effectively by researchers.
