Jane Hart - Learning and Performance Technologies.

I'd become aware of Jane's Top 100 tools a few years ago after inviting her to speak at a Modern Learning Symposium at HMS Sultan a few years ago.  The  list of tools are extensive and provide not only learning tools but also performance enhancing tools which while not always useful to my direct role as a training manager within the Royal Navy, it has provided  a backdrop on which I can appreciate the widening possibilities when approaching a specific training intervention or problem. From the perspective of developing training in the Royal Navy the tools offered are often limited.  The vulnerability our systems to cyber attack means our draconian approach to e-security means that many are not usable.  The concept of collaboration or sharing is not natural to the Armed Forces in general. Information systems are slow, outdated and generally not well connected to the web and where they are the sites which can be visited are limited.  When Flash files or YouTube footage is outside the capability of the IT, the possibilities for Modernizing Learning become stunted. Regardless, the utility of this site to E-learning practitioners in general is positive. Thank you Jane.
