How/Why were these particular tools selected for this report?
Bower & Torrington state:
In order to have been included in the 2020 Typology of Free Web-based Learning Technologies, the tools must:
- be freely available, or at least offer a free version that can be used in continuity (not just a free trial)
- be openly accessible via a standard web-browser
- enable people to contribute and share content
- be educationally applicable (so, for instance, marketing tools were not included).
