A collection of links to tools and information sources which can support autonomous, systemic learning at various different levels.
Still a work in progress - feel free to suggest additions!
You might also be interested in the Continuous Learning Toolkit - a simple web interface to explore social and technical tools for learning. What gets added to this repo might find its way into the toolkit.
