OTHER GREAT RESOURCES
As well as the list below, thanks to all the individuals who refer me to interesting sites from time to time. Everyone benefits from your sharing! Bravenet's Webmaster Tips n Tricks newsletter CUEBC (Computer Using Educators of British Columbia) TechTalk newsletter ETUG - Educational Technology users group at BCCampus.ca Global Educators Network (GEN): (no longer active) The GEN forums (seminars) are where I began my own learning path for online teaching a few years ago. Hosted in BC, the Global Educators Network is a place created "by online educators for online educators", linking teachers and faculty worldwide. Monthly new seminars on hot topics in the online learning field. Friendly atmosphere, lots of fun. Worth signing up for, and keeping abreast of what topics are on this month and next and next and next. "The Virtual Professor" was the title for a seminar I attended a couple years ago, and that seminar started this page. Knowplace newsletter Lockergnome's newsletter and their many RSS channels LVS Online where my fellow students provide me with graphics references from time to time. Macromedia Edge: the Macromedia membership newsletter Netmechanic eMail Newsletter: Always full of good reference materials, tips, etc. PALC Weekly Web News: Brad Hyde's weekly featured site for their Adult Learning Students in New Westminster, BC, Canada Stephen's Web, plus and Stephen Downes' OLDAILY, his email Education Newsletter: "Though it may not be the prettiest site on the web to look at (though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as the site uses larger fonts, consistent and text-based navigation, and fast-loading HTML), Stephen's Web is arguably one of the most important and influential websites in educational technology today. The articles, publications and presentations - of which there are more than 300, dating back to 1995 - represent the state of the art in online learning and related issues and technology. These articles are widely cited (proof of which is provided via 'Cite' links to Google searches). Thousands of educational professionals worldwide use OLDaily and Stephen's Web as their primary professional development tool. This is evidenced not only by their discussion list contributions but also through the hundreds of emails sent to the author. The technologies tested and demonstrated on Stephen's Web have, in some cases, achieved a world-wide impact, changing points of view not only with respect to online learning but with respect to online media generally. From the course designs described in the mid-1990s to learning objects to RSS, blogging and learning environments, Stephen's Web is - and has been for almost a decade - today what online learning will be in five years.
