Pegby
https://pegby.com
It became a catch phrase across Skype as we built Pegby: let's go to the Board. Using an unlimited number of Boards, you can collaborate with friends, family, co-workers and even strangers...if you like that sort of thing.
Pegby began with the Card. Pegby's core strength and flexibility comes from the simple, good-natured Card. Double-click to add a title. Double-click to add a description. Assign it to yourself or your friend. Drag it around. Push it off. Heck, throw a little color on it.

Learn how to become an effective learner and how to manage your own learning.
Learning and Teaching Scotland has commissioned this collection of learning materials to help learners to develop the study skills and information literacy they need in order to become independent learners and to develop their full potential as individuals, citizens and workers in the 21st century.
The activities in this learning series are grouped around the four main stages for effective studying and the successful processing of information. The four headings - Get, Understand, Remember and Do - follow the logical steps which people take when they are finding out about something, making sense of it, then telling someone else about it or doing something with it.
There are separate sets of notes for teachers, parents/carers and students.
