An eTool is any computer, software, or web application that is intended to make a task easier.

For this presentation I have broken the types of eTools into three primary areas.

Preparation – eTools to help today’s educators easily and efficiently prepare for his/her courses.

Presentation – eTools to help today’s educators to present his/her content or add to the course content to engage the adult learner.

Productivity – eTools to help today’s educators become more productive in the maintenance of his/her course.
