I was just review my Tweets when I came across this link to an OEDB (Online Education Database) blog posting that reviews a number of mostly free Web 2.0 productivity apps. OEDB is a site where you can go to search for an online masters degree program.
This posting has the typical applications like Google Calendar, Zoho Projects, MyStickies, Google Docs, Bloglines, Google Reader and such. But it also includes a whole collection of useful apps that I have never seen including Chalksite, Schoopy, Gradefix and the like. The only problem I have with this list is the overcropping that they used with their logos. =-)
You can find this wonderful list at: Top 25 Web 2.0 Apps to Improve a Student's or Professor's Productivity
Many of these app's seem to do what Blackboard, elearning, or Angel do for professors. Will the emergence of these app's force higher education institutions to improve their existing programs or change to other providers? Blackboard is taking over Angel; it seems as if a monopoly is on its way. Instructor training is also so limited that many never fully realize all that these online systems can do.
