I recently received feedback from someone who has read the E-Learning Concepts and Techniques E-Book. Arianne sent the another link that she has found quite useful for her research on online education, AcademicInfo.net, as an additional resource to those listed in Chapter 3.

Thanks, Arianne!

I just returned from the United States Distance Learning Association conference where Sam Slike (Education of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing Program) and I received an award. We had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people. One of them was Greg Pitzer, NASA Digital Learning Network, Ames Research Center.

The NASA Digital Learning Network provides free interactive programs to teachers and students. These programs are numerous. The catalog can be found on the DLN web site (http://dln.nasa.gov/dln/).
