I found an interesting blogpost at the eLearning coach weblog about ten social media tools for learning. Each tool –mentioned below– fulfills one of the following criteria (alphabetical listing)
- encourages collaboration;
- enables user-generated content or input;
- provides a way to share;
- and facilitates informal or formal learning.
