Kineo Looks at E-Learning Trends on Google
The guys at Kineo put out so much fun, interesting, provocative stuff that browsing their web site feels like drinking from a fire hose. I can never keep up. And you got to love their style: "Don’t wake up dumber than you went to bed. Get Kineo’s e-mail briefing". How great is that?

They beat me to the punch and published some results of search trends from GoogleTrends. Some highlights:

  • "Saba" searches are down; "moodle" is up
  • The term "e-learning" is down year over year
  • "Podcasting" actually peaked in 2005 and has flattened out
