2020 was the year of video meeting platforms as organisations scrambled to support remote working and learning in lockdowns. However in 2021 it seems many organisations and education have been exploring and experimenting with a much wider range of tools and platforms. Here are 15 observations of this year's list:

1 - Video meeting tools like Zoom (at #2) and Teams (at #4) have maintained their places in the top 5. They are now seen as indispensable for both meetings and live training. They have been joined on the list this year by a number of other platforms that support virtual meetings as well as other virtual and hybrid events, like Wonder (at #197), VooV Meeting (at #241), and airmeet (at #230), etc.

2 - Live engagement tools like Kahoot (at #18) and Mentimeter (at #29) have moved up a few places These tools are being used to provide interactive functionality to meeting tools.

3 - Online whiteboard tools have also become very popular for the same reason - ie to provide collaborative functionality during live meetings. Miro (up 45 places to #30) is now leading the way in the corporate space together with Mural (up 31 places to #35) whilst Google Jamboard (up 33 places to #69) is now more popular in education.

4 - Whilst team and enterprise collaboration platforms also remain popular for remote working a number of other workflow/ project/ team management platforms have joined the list this year (like Breeze (at #124), Jira (at #129) and Monday.com (at #152). These platforms are aimed at increasing team collaboration and productivity in the workplace

5 - Additionally, a number of new, dedicated virtual training and workshop platforms appear on the list this year, ie Bramble (at #143) and Butter (at #163)

6 - Social networks like LinkedIn (at #7) and Twitter (#8) have clawed back a little ground this year, although there is evidence that some people no longer find them as useful as they once were.

7 - The biggest climber this year is Telegram (up 149 places to #31, and a high new entry is Viber (in at #78). This is an indication of how messaging apps have become increasingly popular for groups to work and learn together.

8 - E-Learning authoring tools still hold their own with Articulate in a strong position (at #19) but there is now a much wide range of content development tools to create assets and resources in a variety of formats.

9 - As video becomes an even more popular format, there are now a number of new video makers, editors and managers on the list ranging from a large-scale platform like Panopto (in at #83) down to Apple Clips for video editing on an iPhone (in at #149).

10 - A number of new live video streaming tools appear on this year's list too. OBS Studio is the highest new entry (in at #55) and Streamyard (in at #170) brings live broadcasting to professionals as well as organisations..

11 - A number of new podcasting tools have joined the list this year (ie Blubrry (in at #174), Anchor (in at #179) and podcast.co (in at #196). These are also aimed at individuals (rather than organisations) as professional podcasting takes off.

12 - Language learning remains a popular activity, and two new tools join the list this year. Drops (in at #138) helps you learn a language in just 5 minutes a day, whilst italki (in at #234) is a place to learn from native speakers.

13 - Other online course platforms joining the list this year are those that focus on skills development rather than just knowledge transfer, e.g, Skillshare (in at #145) and Skils Base (in at #221)

14 - For individuals, there are many new tools that support personal productivity -for both working and learning. These include organisers and bookmark managers (like Raindrop (in at #114) and Bublup (in at #127). I particularly like the look of Mindstone (in at #132) which "helps you learn faster, remember more and get things done by letting you organise and annotate articles, videos and podcasts from all over the web in one single place".

15 - This year there has also been a huge number of new educational platforms joining the list. These support a variety of educational ages and levels, but include platforms to create materials, activities and interactive worksheets as well as those that support grading and assessment, and manage the classroom. Educational platforms that impressed me this year include Peerceptiv (for peer assessment, in at #181), Perusall (to prepare students for class, in at #216), Whiteboard.chat (an all-inclusive digital notebook, in at #176) and Pear Deck (a Google Slide extension to create engaging slideshows, in at #187). Although these tools fall in the bottom half of the list, this is undoubtedly due to the fact that only 40% of survey respondents came from education. Nevertheless it is clear many educators are searching for new and interesting tools to keep their students engaged whether they are in the classroom or studying remotely.

For other tools in each of these areas, take a look at the By category listing.
