Hello, this week I discovered several blogs and resource sites that focus on instructional design and learning. Due to their rich content these blogs and sites deserve some mention and review. Each one has postings and tools on a variety of issues encompassing instructional design and workplace learning paradigms, e-learning, and web-based e-learning. In my review, I will provide and overview of the blog and sites features as well as the content which makes it unique and worth a visit. The following blogs and resources sites will be apart of my review: the E-Learning Curve Blog, Rose Colored Glasses, and Instructional Design Open Studio.
The E-Learning Curve Blog has numerous postings on work place learning paradigms and their environments, e-learning, web-based e-learning, and technology. Postings are rich in theoretical discussion and graphics and cover a broad range of current issues in the field. The blog is user friendly and contains many traditional blog features such as an archive, search feature, tweet, and other useful author preferred search tools. You will also find on the blog links to the authors produced podcasts on constructivism, Flash, Captivate, and workforce training. The postings on this site are quite useful and can aid instructional designers and developers in creating effective learning tools for their workplace.
A great resource site is Rose Colored Glasses This site contains a variety of instructional design information, tools, and resources that can assist course developers and designers at varying levels of experience in developing courses. A multitude of topics from A to Z can be found here including links to many external learning centers and educational tools. In reviewing this site, I found an array of content rich postings covering all areas of the design field and recommend readings for the discerning learner. One of the best things about this site is its ease of use and layout. It is very user friendly and can serve as a great ongoing resource for instructional design professionals and developers.
The Instructional Design Open Studio is another blog site with content rich postings on instructional design and learning. Postings cover a variety of issues from instructional design paradigms to training as well as E-learning ethics, laws, and marketing strategies. This site has an enormous archive of postings and a useful category organizer for arranging all its topics. Instructional designers and developers will find this blog a very useful resource for their growth and learning in the field.
Until next time… have a great day!
