Le Marque Page
This French
language e-learning magazine is based in Turkey and seeks
to speak to learners on four continents. Described in educa.ch (also in French): "The Marque
Page is a webzine having the objective of publicizing
classroom work and to support the exchange of information
and linkages between francophones worldwide. The site,
particularily rich, is animated by teachers of schools in
Istanbul with the aid of l'Institut français." Forgive the
rough translation; I'm still new at this. By Various
Authors, October, 2003

Collaborative Learning Environments
Sourcebook
A resource that quotes me in the
first line is sure to get my attention sooner or later, and
not surprisingly such a work resonates with my thinking.
From the website, "This is a sourcebook for academics and
students who want to develop collaborative learning
environments (or communities of practice) in which
lecturers, students and others can work together to create
new knowledge while learning new skills." Looking for
author information I follow the main link and reach the The
Critical Methods Collective and just know I'm in the
right place. Also related: the author's Collaborative Learning blog, already
listed in Edu_RSS, and so the circle is complete. By Martin

The Experience Designer: Learning, Networks
and the Cybersphere
I found this relatively new
blog by following a link to this item through my referrer system,
then following the link on a comment on that page. It is
based on the author's book of the same name. The focus of
the blog is on the nature of learning, and the author
questions whether what we in e-learning are designing
accords with that conception. It's a good conversation to
have, and the discussion is insightful and well informed.
