         This week, we were introduced to different kinds of educational delivery options. There are different modes of educational delivery, such as face-to-face education, blended learning, online learning, blended online learning, video conference learning, and multi-access learning. Of these different modes, digital learning resources was the primary focus. Digital learning resources include video conferencing, web 2.0, and learing managemetn systems. Learning management systems are online resources such as moodle or blackboard that facilitate learning by providing a place for online collaboration and discussions. Web 2.0 is an application that allows users to record voice, sounds or video for publishment on the web. This allows users to recieve and send information easily. Video conferencing is a fairly underused but very useful and effective technology that allows users to interact via two-way video. An example of a common type of video conferencing is skype. By using skype users and communicate with one another from all over the world using the internet through audio, video or both. These different kinds of learning modes have revolutionized the way we learn, communicate and send information. There are currently thousands of dollars being funded to research and integrate way in which we can improve techological resources for learning and collaboration.
