Useful Instructional Design Sites


IDEAS: Instructional Design for Elearning ApproacheS


This blog is an excellent resource for instructional design (ID) students and professionals. It provides links to elearning and technology in eduction sites, other ID blogs, and articles. Ferdinand Krauss, a Masters student enrolled in the Instructional Design and Evaluation, Advance Technology in Distance Education at Athabasca University, is the author of this blog. It appears that it exists for the same reason my blog is being created, initally for a class assignment and it grew from there. I think this is a great jump-off to an array of elearning information.



Making Change: Ideas for lively e-learning


This is an awesome blog to use as a place to get your elearning creative juices flowing. Created by Cathy Moore, an elearning consultant, this site helps "save the world from boring elearning." I am very impressed by the amount of information that you can get from this blog. Cathy provides a number of recommended posts and links to ideas on how to make elearning interesting and effective. It mainly focuses on the business community, but I am sure that you can also get valueable information and ideas for the educational sector as well.



eLearning Technology


This 2008 edublog award winner site is a phenomenal resource for elearning technology. The author, Tony Karrer, is the CEO/CTO of TechEmpower, a Web development firm in LA. He is considered one of the top technologists in elearning. The blog was created in the February 2006, therefore it has a good bit of useful content to peruse through. You can also sign up to receive elearning technology articles via email. There is a list of useful elearning tools, companies, organization, and other blogs as well. The topics covered on the blog are quite insightful.
