It seems all infographics must contain some new information or viewpoint on the eBook vs textbook scenario, and this one is no different. But, while it looks at a large range of digital ‘tools’ available, it is the way in which it seemed to link Blackboard, Moodle, and iTunesU together as tools open source ‘classroom management’ tools (below) … is it? Did I miss something here – “Open source software is increasing in popularity when it comes to online classroom management. These tools are customisable to a school’s individual need and allows students to access course materials on demand, outside of the classroom.” I don’t think anything Apple related will even be open source?
