Welcome to the DIGITAL toolkit! Digital education and online learning is here to stay, but as an adult educator, where do you start when there are so many tools and programmes on the market? In this toolkit, we present our top 23 tools for adult educators which have been researched and many tried/tested by adult educators like you.

How to use this toolkit:

Step 1:

First, check out the category of tool you want. This toolkit is comprised of seven tool categories, and within each category, there are a total of 3-4 tools.

Step 2:

Each tool has a section that explains about the tool and what it can be used for. Follow the link to the tool website to learn even more about the tool! Next, there is a pros and cons section to the tool. This is a handy way to work out the differences between each tool in the respective categories.

Step 3:

Finally, the last section of each tool is a pricing section, and an instructional video on how to get you started using the tool. We’ve tried to select as many tools as possible that have a free pricing plan. You’ll be able to see the differences between plans on the pricing section too.
