Clipix is an online tool which as described by Wikipedia is an online tool for bookmarking, file sharing and an organisational tool. I found it very useful when compiling my VLE.
After downloading into Chrome, a little icon appears on the tool bar on the righthand side. This is your action tool and you click on this when you want to save something.
I would say Clipix is a good aid for learning. It allows the user to save bookmarks and images on a given subject in a designated clipboard which can store up to 20 entries. I think you have to pay a fee if you require more space. This is useful if you wish to study a particular subject; like for example a PGCE assignment where I can store all the relevant bookmarks in one clipboard and access when required.
The Clipix feature also allows me to crop an image and save. This is useful because my original thought on doing this was to take a Print Screen image, open the image in Paintbox and then cut and crop, then save the image and upload into my document. With Clipix , you press the action tool and a crop image is displayed. Using this feature to select what you want to crop, a camera sound is heard and the image is cropped and saved to the clipboard. The image can be downloaded into your document by simple uploading from the Clipix gallery.
A teacher can compile a clipboard of given images and bookmarks and can then allow the students permission to access the materials for their own use; for example to read further about a given subject or to view the specified bookmark and view related bookmarks. This is useful if students are set a task to for example; research an assignment and write an essay.
I found this tool very helpful in compiling my VLE and is a tool I would use in the future.
