I recently published a new edition of the Association Learning / Technology Digest (formerly the Association E-learning Newsletter). You can receive the full edition automatically by subscribing, but I thought I’d also share the “Links of Value” section here on the blog:
50 Tutorials to Help You Achieve E-learning Awesomeness
http://www.articulate.com/blog/50-tutorials-to-help-you-achieve-e-learning-awesomeness/
Articulate continues to be a shining example of providing high value and engagement through customer education. This one also represents an excellent example of extending access to great education that they provided at a conference (ASTD). Well worth bookmarking.

School of the future will open in July as “as an inter-generational free school for the community around Sgt. Dougherty Park, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.” There is a lot of food for thought here.

Very Important Study on Learning & the Brain
http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2010/05/26/very-important-study-on-learning-the-brain/
In this study, Larry Ferlazzo (an edublogger well worth reading) highlights a study that contrasts “model-free learning” with “model-based learning.” The former is based primarily on intrinsic rewards (for example, earning CE credit) while the latter is based on extrinisc motivators, which tend to be much more effective for anything requiring “higher-order thinking skills and creativity.”

LMS Template – Comparing Vendors Analysis – Apples to Apples
http://elearninfo.com/2010/05/21/lms-template/
A template for facilitating the comparison of LMS systems. This kind of thing can be useful, but the key is not to be superficial in how the various features and functionalities are described. You have to make sure that the descriptions jibe with your actual use cases (which, of course, requires having use cases in the first place!).
Enjoy, and share -
Jeff
