State of the Learning Blogs

So, where does one go to find interesting content online about Learning and eLearning? Why not start with blogs? What are the most intersting blogs in this space? We have created a Blogroll that will make your discovery easier. Check out our blogroll!


In 2006, Articulate (the company) created one such list - titled the "The 19 Best Elearning Blogs" . Let us see how these blogs fare today:

1. The Rapid eLearning Blog: Authored by Tom Kuhlmann, this blog has not just survived but has grown tremendously in popularity (47000 readers!). Definitely an authority in this space.


2. Tony Karrer’s eLearning Technology: This is also a very active blog. Tony Karrer has compiled a nice list of postings as a guide for first time visitors - a great place to start for anyone new to eLearning.


3. Harold Jarche: Very Active. Focused more on learning for professionals.


4. Learning TRENDS by Elliott Masie: This blog is quite active as well. However, the blog seems to be more focused on Learning theories and approaches - may not be interesting to the "Aam admi", so to say.


5. Internet Time Blog: Authored by Jay Cross, this blog has several interesting postings on "Informal Learning".


6. Dave Mozealous: Named after another authority in the space, this blog is a good read for anyone who wants to keep in touch with some of the latest technologies in the area.


7. elearningpost: This blog seems to have drifted beyond eLearning and seems to be talking about a broad range of topics in technology. You may have to be patient if you want to find a good, relevant post on Learning.


8. Online Learning Update: To some extent, a newscast on happenings in the Learning space. Focused on US (like most of the other blogs in the list) - so, many of the posts may not resonate with the Indian audience.


9. George Siemens’ elearnspace: A very interesting blog looking at a broad variety of topics related to learning. A must read!
