Inspiration

This page lists resource-centric social websites and services. There are at least three different types:

  • Bookmarking - This kind of platform cater for people who want to be able to quickly and easily retrieve single resources in their entirety. Primarily focused on the individual, most allow for social sharing, profiles, and discovery.
  • Note-taking - This kind of platform suits people doing research, as they are focused on highlighting, taking notes, or otherwise 'clipping' useful information to come back to later. They are either public or private by default, but either way can be shared with other users.
  • Curation - This kind of platform allows users to create collections of resources for various purposes. These can then be shared with other users.

The MoodleNet project is focused on the third of these: curation.
