An Encyclopedia of the New and Promising

What’s new and cutting edge in e-learning? Who’s creating new forums for sharing knowledge, who’s offering innovative ideas, and what are those ideas? What content development approaches and innovations are the most promising from a long-term perspective?

To answer these questions – and many others – Gary Woodill has compiled a 205-page report that tackles 45 of the most promising ideas, innovations, and content formats in the field of e-learning.

WHAT'S NEW IN THE 2007 EDITION:

30 percent new content
600 additional hyperlinks have been added, illustrating the new, innovative e-learning content formats
All references updated

As a kind of encyclopedia of the new approaches, Emerging E-Learning Content takes these 45 trends and breaks each one down to explain where they came from, what theories underpin them, and where they’re likely headed in the future, all told with Gary’s enthusiasm and knowledge of learning from a broad perspective.

This report isn’t about corporate practices versus academic realities. Instead, it tackles the wide diversity of e-learning content to get at the meaning behind each delivery method or practice. It’s a smart guide that spotlights the insufficiencies of “e-learning 1.0” and provides answers to some of the vexing problems that e-learning presents.

The top 45 emerging content trends are profiled one-by-one, with plenty of hyperlinks showing examples to lead you down new paths. It also includes an extensive collection of bibliographic information that everyone involved in learning can use as research material. In addition, all of the 300+ organizations profiled in the report are listed in the appendix, with contact information for each one.

It all adds up to a handy guide to the next five years of e-learning development. Academics, professionals, and the just-plain-curious will all be well served by learning about the cutting-edge trends that are changing e-learning adoption and practices.

This report is also available through a subscription to the Brandon Hall Research Library.
