Top 100 Tools for Learning 2023

Voting for Top 100 Tools for Learning 2024 now open


Here are the Top 100 Tools for learning generated from the 17th Annual Tools for Learning survey.  There were a total of 2,022 votes and this year there were more votes from the education sector than last year, which is why many of the educational tools have regained lost ground on this year’s list. New tools on the list are shaded yellow in the table below, and tools returning to the list are shaded green.  The big news for this year is that ChatGPT has jumped straight into the chart in the No 4 place. 2023 is the year that AI has finally taken off. For a categorisation of the tools (both as a list and in graphical format), take a look at By Category
