The spotlight may be turned on a new collaborative use for an existing or readily available tool; the concatenation of a series of tools in an engaging manner; or on a specific tool that enables effective collaboration in the learning process. Toolsday meetings are organized and led by the "Learning Collaboration Tools (LCT) Working Group" within LearningTimes. All LTN members are welcome.
