I have not been a regular blogger and that is one of the reasons why sometimes feel very guilty to the point that I have even thought of selling it off. But as I had started it long back, and due to some sort of sentimental value attached – of which too I am not sure – till now I have not gathered the courage to sell it. I am sure I might earn cool money from this!!

So, just for the sake of keeping the blog going, I am penning down some thoughts about something which I wanted to share for long.

I remembered that i have a blog which i was ignoring for long now. Lots to post actually but time crunch. I was thinking of developing another site, but suddenly realized that it would also require a lot of attention and time. So, shelved that idea for the time being (the site would be on elearning tools, have initiated the process by registering a domain name). Elearning might not be as creative as advertising or entertainment but it is equally chanllenging. Conceptualizing a one-liner or a tag-line for a product for a television commercial may be as difficult and time consuming as creating a one hour learning material . Lots of blah blah this is actually…just random thoughts though.

For people like me, who are still new in the elearning field, the resources and latest news will help to stay abreast of the latest elearning trends across the world. I have researched and listed down a few of the resources for my reference and for anyone in the same field. Here’s my take for the time being, will add more to the list.

eCornell Research Blog: This blog i came across contains relevant info and latest news on the elearning industry. It also has a list of elearning resources, which are quite comprehensive.

Learning for 2020: Another interesting blog is that of an Australian learning technologist whose views and visions about the future learning and the role of the instructor as a convincing evangelist, guardian angel, to a manipulative devil is worth a read. His views on how the students in 2020 will want to use technology for learning are quite fascinating.
