Cohere is an "idea management tool" that allows people to weave meaningful connections between ideas, for personal, team or social use.

Cohere has been developed as part of the Open University’s OpenLearn initiative, which is publishing thousands of hours of OU course materials online for free access and remixing, together with free e-learning and social software tools.
