Getting Started with E-Learning Outline
The most common request I've heard at the two meetings and at the E-Learning Symposium is a resource for getting start with E-Learning. I'm willing to coordinate the creation of this resource. The first step is to create an outline. I put my initial thoughts down for an outline and Martha Jacobson was kind enough to edit and improve it. I have reproduced the outline below and look forward to lots of comments from y'all. Let me know if you want the original Word document.
After we get the outline approximately correct I'll put out a call for articles, blog posts, etc. on each subjects. Drupal has a cool feature where you can combine all sorts of resources into an online "book"

eLearning Guild
I've found a lot of useful documents on eLearningguild.com. Unfortunately, it takes time to go through all the materials when you've been an instructional design and development team of one.

http://www.elearnspace.org - a great website. They also have a "Whole Picture" view of eLearning in their articles that's very valuable. The site has webinars, blogs, podcasts and many informative articles available, along with a newsletter.
http://www.elearningguild.com is also a great resource.

Nice work Sanjay and Martha!
We have some forms we've used in our organization in developing online training that I would be happy to share when we get to that stage!

Next step
I can take the lead on the next step. I've been trying to think whether to do this in Drupal or set up a Wiki. Although I think the Wiki might have some technical advantages having an integrated site with a single login and a single content database provides a big reason for keeping it in Drupal.
As a next step I will work on a site taxonomy this weekend (incorporating the outline items).
After that, I will put out a call for articles, documents, links, etc. for each outline item on here and through other sources. Hopefully we'll get folks to sign in and input the documents themselves so I don't have to do that.
After we get a decent number of Articles I'll use Drupal's Book feature to pull it all together.
hmmm....a good plan till the first shot is fired?
