The Open University, part of the OpenLearn story, has also allowed free access to part of their courses on "systems" courses which can be found at the bottom of this page for those who don't know how to map systems its a basic start.
They have many simple tutorials for educators and life-long learners on new web-based learning tools, for example:
FlashMeeting is a one-click video conferencing tool. It allows a
dispersed group of people to meet from anywhere in the world with an
internet connection, running in a standard web browser window, with the
Adobe Flash 'plug in'. If you have a properly installed web cam and
microphone you will be able to communicate with friends and colleagues
anywhere they are.

Compendium is a software tool for visual thinking.
You can use it to cluster and connect icons linked to ideas, concepts,
arguments, websites and documents. Use it just for personal reflection
as you study or work on a problem, or share your maps with others...
your summary of a topic, or a learning path through the maze of the
Web, might really help someone else!
