Webzines

More anecdotal, but with an interesting mix of articles and news, are webzines. Learning Circuits, a monthly digest of digital and online learning from the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), has been published in print for several years but is now fully online since January 2000, on www.learningcircuits.org.

Fastcompany publish a magazine on www.fastcompany.com/online/resources/currentissue.html.

@cademy online from AACSB, the International Association for Management Education, is at www.academyonline.com, whilst a good starting point for articles on elearning is: www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/elearning/what/news.html.

Peter Honey publications produce www.learningbuzz.com. Indeed, Peter Honey's site demonstrates another benefit (or otherwise) of the web: self-publication becomes very easy, so writers can post collections of their own articles at little or no cost - see: www.peterhoney.co.uk/articles.htm.

News

Newsletters come in all shapes, ranging from those that try to mimic print-based newspapers, through simple listings to news groups, bulleting boards and other interactive, email discussion groups.

For an example of an online education newspaper, try www.teachingtimes.com.

Most of the major newspapers have a presence online, though sometimes restricted to subscribers, see for example: www.thesis.co.uk, www.tes.co.uk, or
www.educationunlimited.co.uk which comes from The Guardian.

For training, and particularly work-based training and related topics, an excellent UK online newsletter is Learning Wire, on www.trainingzone.co.uk/learningwire
