Here is a quick list of our top 5 collaborative tools that can be used to integrate social learning 1. Mindmeister – this is a great, mind mapping tool. Using Mindmeister, learners can collaborate and brainstorm outside of their LMS based online course in real-time. Once created, they can then post their findings in a course discussion board or export their maps in a variety of formats which can then be submitted into the LMS. Students can even prioritize tasks and set due dates for each mapped item. Basic accounts are free and allow a good amount of functionality, but are limited to the number of mind maps that can be created and do not feature the export function.
