In E-Learning 2.0 by Steven
The e-learning application, therefore, begins to look very much like a blogging tool. It represents one node in a web of content, connected to other nodes and content creation services used by other students. It becomes, not an institutional or corporate application, but a personal learning center, where content is reused and remixed according to the student's own needs and interests. It becomes, indeed, not a single application, but a collection of interoperating applications—an environment rather than a system.
In the future it will be more widely recognized that the learning comes not from the design of learning content but in how it is used.e-learning and KM coming together at last! It's about time we start thinking about learning and intelligence in the same manner.

I have never been really satisfied with various studies and white papers on collaboration tools because I believe that the tools you use to collaborate depend on the level of trust you have established between the parties involved. There is no point in blogging if you don't want to engage into conversations, and it's no use introducing instant messenging in an organization where nobody trusts each other. So I tried to summarize this is a little diagram which I have found to be helpful in my communication. Tell me your thoughts!
Just bumped into this white paper of Rod Boothby, via the Otter Group. It makes a list of the most currently used web office tools by MBA graduates today.
