Moving towards a personal learning environment

[ Knowledge and learning , ICT and learning ]

I love Shrook - but more importantly this is the first programme I have seen which seems to me to be a real e-learning application.

Its a hot day and I've skived off work for half an hour to have a play. Downloaded a new "next generation" newsreader called Shrook.

Up to now I've been using sage as a newsreader - never really got to grips with Netnewsreader and safari seems not to pick up a lot of feeds.

I love Shrook - but more importantly this is the first programme I have seen which seems to me to be a real e-learning application. It:

  • allows me to select where I want to learn from
  • to bring togther different sources of knowledge and ideas
  • to create my own summaries in the form of a crapbook
  • to bring togther different media - downloaded documents, web pages, blogs and audio (podcast) files - which is neatly downloads into i-tunes and will sync with an i-pod
  • to track and manage my learning

In short - a personal learning environment!
