I'm literally addicted to Outlook.  I don't think I could make it through a work week and keep myself organized without it.  I'm driven by my calendar and inbox and task list.

Is e-Learning any different?  Not Outlook, but whatever tools you use shape your work.  You get addicted to your favorite e-Learning tools.

G Siemens makes this comment in his e-Learning blog, "In a sense, an element of our cognitive process is wrapped up in the affordances of a new tool. Changing tools can result in a different learning process."

Makes sense to me.
