When I was updating the Directory of Learning Tools for 2011, I reviewed each and everyone of the 2,000+ tools in the list. But there was one tool that jumped out at me as being importantly different: SimplyBox – described as “the only decentralized and contextual enterprise communication solution” .
There are a number of reasons why I think this is an interesting tool:
- You can link groups of people around a particular set of content
- You don’t have to leave your current application to communicate with others, they are right there when you need them.
- You don’t need IT to install it.
I believe this approach will help support a more social way of working and learning in organizational workflows.

And I’m not the only one that thinks it is worth watching in 2011.
UPDATE: And of course there’s Simply Box for Education too.

This is a great program. I’ve been using it for a couple years now and love it. Also like LiveBinders
I’ve also been using SimplyBox for a few years now and find it really useful. It’s a great tool for providing mixed medi content to students for them to develop digital literacy skills around. I’ve really enjoyed using and training teachers to use it, but recently I think they have dropped the free option which is a shame. It’s also got a couple of annoying quirks too that could do with ironing out. But a great tool.

How much does SimplyBox cost ?
SimpleBox seems like a great program and I cannot wait to sit down and use it someday. It seems like a great tool to use in the classroom.
