The power of ICT is in possibility of creating resources in multiple formats, revising them and recombining them to create newer resources.  In the earlier era of non-digital ICTs, creation was limited mostly to textual resource creation; the digital has made us reimagine the idea of information to include non-textual methods including audio, images and videos.  The possibilities of using and combining generic resource creation applications to produce multiple resources is simply mind boggling.  The ability of digital technologies to represent all data as binary bits has made it possible to imagine a wide variety of formats of resources.

Some examples of generic resource creation are:
#Using a [[Learn LibreOffice Writer|text document]] and combining with images to create a communication
#Using a [[Learn Freemind|concept map]] to organize ideas and present
#Using a [[Learn LibreOffice Calc|spreadsheet]] to create data analysis and representations
#Using [[Learn LibreOffice Impress|presentation]] software to make slideshows
#Using [[Learn GIMP|pictures and combining with text]] to communicate
#[[Learn Audacity|Audio]] communications (recordings) using different devices
##Audio visual communication
##Simple videos with pictures stitched with text added using [[Learn Record My Desktop|screen cast]] methods
##[[Learn Openshot Video Editor|Creating videos]] with pictures, text inserts, video clips and audio
