Seb likes eLearning
I don't about you but I tent to ignore web-blications branding themselves as elearning. - I guess it's because things are over-hyped and the language is the vendor's. With eLearn Magazine things are different. Read for youself in their ABOUT US:"eLearn Magazine is published by ACM, a not-for-profit educational association serving those who work, teach, and learn in the various computing-related fields. Founded in 1947 as the Association for Computing Machinery, ACM's stated mission is to advance the arts, sciences, and applications of information technology. It is the oldest and most respected organization of its kind. eLearn is ACM's first Web-only publication. It will build on ACM's reputation by serving as the most accurate and unbiased source for news, information, and opinion on the now-flourishing field of online education and training. It also offers a community hub for e-learning professionals on the Web, providing a wealth of public forums for the free exchange of ideas.
Content is culled from two sources: News and features written by professional journalists with expertise in education and technology, and columns and tutorials by industry leaders and stars of academia. Our targeted readership includes both providers and consumers of online learning, with a special emphasis on teachers, managers, and administrators working to develop educational programs or classes on the Web."
An article from the current edition that I plan to study in more detail is Designing Usable, Self-Paced e-Learning Courses: A Practical Guide by Michael Feldstein, SUNY Learning Network, and Lisa Neal, eLearn Magazine
