Postach.io

Here's a service that helps you "collect and share content" from your storage and documentation tools (like Dropbox and Evernote). Dropbox is an easy-to-use cloud storage space, and Evernote is a fantastic way to capture and store content that you want to continue to interact with, in case you haven't heard of or even used either. But Postach.io can help you select and present this content. The shortcoming of Dropbox and Evernote is that they can seem static. There's stuff just sitting in there. They beg you to be able to look at it in a new way. Eportfolios lack strong capture functionality, making it difficult to smoothly integrate documentation into learning processes, and capture technologies lack presentation.

Postach.io brings this. It's also an organic way to go about a learning eportfolio, and is one step closer to using technology to enhance documentation design, because you play an active role in capturing content, selecting it and presenting it.

But how can we integrate learning science into learning technology? Curation Interactive likes to use these tools to help students document and present process. But we're still exploring the idea of how get features of these tools pick up some of the mechanical work of documentation design pedagogy - how to make connections, use the connections to form pathways to content and to personalize learning.
