This document discusses an organization's use of e-learning tools in teaching. It provides examples of tools currently used like Socrative and Padlet for interactive quizzes and collaboration. Tools in development include Camtasia, Knowmia and Nearpod for multimedia content. The reasons for using these tools are to increase variety, student engagement, mirror industry standards, enable assessment, reduce paper use, and provide feedback. Live demonstrations are given of Socrative and Padlet, and other tools like ScreenCast, Wordle, and Edmodo are also mentioned.
