Loose Stitch

I haven't had investigated this in great depth as yet but first impressions are, what a terrific tool for recording, organizing, and sharing information.

Loose Stitch is a user-friendly outlining tool that can be used in a multitude of ways to support learning.

Practitioners/learners/administrators/etc., can use Loose Stitch to...

  • record and organize researched information.
  • keep track of scheduled events or assigned tasks on a project.
  • share recorded information.
Designed to be used collaboratively by people working on the same project/plan.

When using Loose Stitch ...

  • Outlines can be embedded in wikis or blogs or eXe documents.
  • When outlines are changed, changes are automatically reflected in embedded versions.
  • Outlines can be shared via unique URLs.

As far as inclusion is concerned I've found that CLiCk Speak's text-to-speech can be used, by selecting any text in an outline, and so have the outlines read aloud in Firefox.

Note: Registration is not required to use the fully functional free version of Loose Stitch, but a "Pro" version is available with additional features.
