Resource of the Week - ReadCoud

ReadCloud is a social eReading platform designed for schools. It consists of social eReading software with built-in learning tools and a Digital Library Management system. Users may embed comments, videos, pictures, and sound bites to facilitate conversations and discussions. The video below provides an introduction to the tool and how it may be used:



ReadCloud features a Digital Library Management system of out-of-copyright classics, poems, plays, and creative commons books but also allows users to upload their own content. The program currently works on both Macintosh and Windows machines and mobile phone support is forthcoming.

Check out the eLIS Digital Resource Collection for more resources like this. This week we added the 700th resource to the collection! Resources are available for multiple subject areas, age ranges, and tool types.
