Editor's note

Hi,

I'm Stephen Walsh of Kineo. Kineo is a new kind of learning consultancy, and we thought you might be interested in our research on free open source tools, new technologies and blended learning - all wrapped up in a free report.

We think a good way to introduce ourselves is to give something away. Think of it as an early Christmas present....

I hope you enjoy our first newsletter and find it useful, if you want to unsubscribe just click here unsubscribe@kineo.com

If you'd like to talk about the ideas here, or other ones, I'd love to hear from you. E-mail me at newsletter@kineo.com

Best wishes,

 

Stephen

 

1. 50 Ideas for Free E-learning: get your free report

My colleague Matt Fox likes free stuff. He has spent the last few months researching open source e-learning tools and cost-effective learning blends. Check out his report, 50 Ideas For Free E-learning. He's identified the 15 'must have' open source tools and 50 ways to seriously reduce your training spend, including Blogger, Audacity and Wink.

It's free. Just our way of saying hello. Get it here.

2. The November interview: Clive Shepherd on podcasting

For my first monthly interview with industry figures, I caught up with Clive Shepherd. He's been at the forefront of learning and technology since before laserdiscs were cool.

We talked about podcasting and audio learning.

What does it mean for learners, trainers.and tennis?

And most importantly, can we buy iPods on expenses now?

(Actually, get one for free when you join our network in November).
