Some of the interactive software being developed is amazing. Software such as Webtrain, Elluminate Live, Adobe Connect and Wimba are highly interactive and functional. In learning about these different programs, I discovered many practical uses.
They can be used to supplement on-line learning by providing group activities and real-time interaction with other people. This element has often been overlooked with distance learning. Of course, these programs are perfect for meetings and conferencing in the corporate world. However, I was surprised to discover that these tools can also be used in sales and volunteer organizations, in order to cut down on travel costs.
I think this programs are very valuable and innovative technologies!

It is our hope that by leveraging socially based technologies the education industry can shape a new educational technology paradigm that realizes the promises of true “Social Learning”.
By understanding its applications we can create a unique opportunity to improve student engagement, student retention, academic success and overall educational outcomes.
