O Canada 2.0! The country that brought us Flickr, the Yahoo! Translating Proxy and Gretzky has once again dipped into its talent pool and produced the innovative Nuvvo Learning Management System (LMS).
Nuvvo & Digital Learning Styles
Nuvvo provides a bevy of easy-to-use tools to help instructors weave interactive and social activities into their own online learning portal. Oh, yeah--it's free!
Here are just a few of the features built into Nuvvo to help instructors create an eLearning course that will appeal to today's digital learning styles:
- Each Nuvvo course is assigned its own unique URL, providing instructors with their own eLearning portal.
- Instructors can create learn pages, as well as insert files, images, video, & multimedia.
- Uploaded video is integrated into the page & played in the browser. No file download required!
- Assessment tools: Nuvvo has templates for quizzes, tests, assignment sheets!
- Customize your course with your own color scheme, or use Nuvvo templates.
- Nuvvo provides support for iCal integration and course management.
- Asynchronous interaction is supported via Nuvvo blogs.
eLearning with a Twist
In addition to a host of really slick course development tools, Nuvvo also provides instructors with the resources to market, advertise, and get paid for thier course via the eLearning Market.Nuvvo is a LMS with a twist--a twist of cold hard cash! Think of the Nuvvo eLearning Market as an eBay + eLearning mash-up!
Nuvvo and the Web 2.o Sandbox
And because Nuvvo knows how to "play nice," you can integrate some of your other favorite Web 2.o toys into your Nuvvo course.
This means you can insert a HTML snippet for your Flickr photo badge, social bookmarking badge (e.g. MyWeb 2.o/del.ic.ious/BlinkList), or audio messaging group like YackPack into your eLearning portal.
Learning 2.0 for Teachers
"Sharing knowledge is a lovely thing." -Jamie Oliver
Nuvvo is a breakthrough in LMS platforms. It's simple, yet powerful. And it's web-based architecture means that instructors can focus on what they love to do, instead of struggling with the technology.
In short, Nuvvo let's teachers be teachers. Because after all, learning isn't about technology, it's about relationships!

Thanks John! Nuvvo is really a great teaching tool. I hope more people go check it out...Rumor has it that Nuvvo is so cool that even Cartman, Stan, and Kyle are singing the National Anthem of Canada, instead of that other little diddy they used to sing!
Cheers to the entire Nuvvo team!
