“eLearning Learning” Weekly: A resource you don’t want to miss!

Posted by ann.shea | Filed under Better eLearning, Corporate Training, Global eLearning, Learning Resources, Learning Trends, Social media

It often seems that the daily onslaught of email from solicited and unsolicited sources that needs attending to grows like kudzu on MiracleGro. But one delivery stands out as a welcome favorite, the weekly buffet of eLearning goodies served up in the eLearning Learning newsletter. For anyone in the eLearning field, it’s an essential compilation of some of the best writing and freshest developments in the field. Even if one were (shudder!) to reside professionally outside the virtual walls and hallowed halls of eLearning, it would be a delightful source of discoveries for which to opt-in.

If you haven’t yet subscribed to this newsletter for your own inbox, or are just behind on your reading, you can see the web page itself at http://www.elearninglearning.com/.
Note: the online version has DAILY editions, if the weekly email summary isn’t enough for your reading pleasure.

To sign up for the weekly newsletter, once on the website, look for the blue sign-up box as seen on the right. You can also go to a handy interactive index page for the site that will let you browse by keyword on the following categories: Concepts, Tools, Type, Companies, Organizations, Other, and Year.

The email is delivered with about 10 top featured posts with brief descriptions, plus another couple dozen by title and link only.

Some recent issues received in our own inbox included articles on training and learning related topics like MLearning, efficient course design, Human Resources Practices, Games for Learning, Yammer, along with so much more, including helpful and timely more general content like new Twitter Apps, Infographics, Copyright in the age of Social Media, Minimizing Your PC’s Boot Up Time, filtering(boy do we need this!), and even fun stuff like The Unofficial Encyclopedia of Dr. Seuss. (Did you know of the existence of Bartholomew and the Oobleck, a 1949 book by Dr. Seuss??)

One of the interesting things about elearning Learning’s newsletter is that the version that you receive will be a collection of links that is designed to be customized upon your interests. This is generated from your social graph, including your LinkedIn profile, what you share on Twitter and LinkedIn, and what people like you are sharing. You can read more about this approach to personalized newsletters on the Aggregage website (Aggregage powers elearning Learning) and their blog, which has a whole lot on social content curation, such as “How Pinterest Will Transform the Web in 2012: Social Content Curation As The Next Big Thing.”

If you are interested in having your own blog content included in the eLearning Learning newsletter and website, contact Tony Karrer, Ph.D. (CEO/CTO TechEmpower). You reach Tony by email at akarrer@techempower.com. Tony was hugely helpful to our getting QuickThoughts on board. He does an initial setup of your blog on the eLearning Learning website, and he will provide complete instructions of what you need to do on your end, including how to add a small widget in your blog’s sidebar. This helps the eLearning Learning editors figure out what your best content is, and promotes the site to your audience. As you might expect from eLearning gurus, Tony and his gang have created a super-easy-to-follow video that makes it a breeze to see how to generate and add the code for a WordPress blog. Once you are all joined up, make sure to enter a post about it in your blog!

hello,
I would like to share with you my thoughts about
‘elearn’ as a future classroom teaching ‘substitute’.
I call it the “THE ‘E-LEARN’ BOYS’ (humorous enumeration of elearn’s potential advantages over
traditional classroom learning). I would invite you
to use the views expressed in any form/shape you wish,
without any conditions attached.
Sorry, I do not maintain a website of my own.

Less memory is required to view images than with full-fledged image editing applications.
Although, there is not much good news in the US, as the risk of a double
dip recession weighs in again. 1) was with a clear sterile
lab-like visual layout, with extremely powerful and precise editing capabilities.

The following time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I do know it was my option to learn, however I truly thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you possibly can repair in case you werent too busy on the lookout for attention.

Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo
