categories of tools

Different categories

When talking about tools within a project, one thing we should bear in mind: the moment we use the tool.

A tool can be used:

  • during the design and development phase (as a production tool);
  • during the delivery of the learning process (as a learning tool).

Sometimes it is fuzzy where to place a tool, especially when students are creating content. In this cases the creation takes place during the learning process
