Topics that I watch out:

• General
  • general e-learning trends (mainly corporate, but education a bit as well)
  • e-learning and KM tools: relating and integrating
  • e-learning tools vs. general (or wider KM) tools
• Specific
  • learner acceptance
  • games and e-learning
  • multicultural issues in e-learning, localisation
  • business case (ROI, getting stakeholders in, implementation...)
  • blogs and klogs of course :)

Haven't been there for sometime:

• They added e-learning blog with several gurus writing their comments (current discussion is about ROI). Are my feelings right? Is it getting there?
• They closed some areas for general access :( Is it time to become ASTD member?

Nice Learning Circuits article about implications of MIT's OpenCourseWare...

Five ways the e-learning industry can add value to the MIT content:

• Increase interaction: face-to-face, teachers over Internet, computer-based (e.g. simulations)
• Tailor, assemble, and repurpose [MIT] content
• Become certification authorities
• Innovate with technology: game-based e-learning, LMS & learning objects, rich content, purposeful linkage, dynamic integration
• Innovate with pedagogy: adapting to learning styles, more support for learning ill-structured tasks, collaborative learning,
