Being productive and getting things done both rely on planning and being organized. But with the hustle and bustle of courses, it's sometimes easy to forget what you have to do and when. So here are 25 Web 2.0 applications (mostly free) that should help you on your quest as a student or professor in being productive.

The idea is that these applications will in some way increase productivity and/or reduce time taken for specific tasks. Thus, some companies are more heavily represented because their products are designed for productivity.

Founded in 1995, Stephen's Web is best described as a
digital research laboratory for innovation in the use of
online media in education. More than just a site about
online learning, it is intended to demonstrate new
directions in the field for practitioners and enthusiasts.

Specifically, the design of Stephen's Web is intended to
embody the following new directions in online learning:

- Integration of Learning, Practice and Research - it is
the author's belief that learning in an online environment
will gradually merge with other domains of activity, and
specifically, practice and research. Consequently,
Stephen's Web merges these three uses of online content
into a single space.

- Integration of Content and Community - it is the
author's belief that content and community - that is, the
presentation of content and consequent discussion of
content - should be presented as an integrated unit and not
segregated (as is typical in learning management systems).

- Content Syndication - a single online learning
resource is depicted on this view as one node in a network
of resources, whereby these resources exchange content and
services among each other. This outcome is achieved by
means of content syndication and supported throughout
Stephen's Web

- Dynamic Organization - learning, and the presentation
of learning, should not be static. On any given day, the
organization, structure and delivery of learning resources
may change according to the changing knowledge of the
instructor, the changing nature of the field, and the
changing preferences of the learner.
