- http://www.davesabol.com/portfolio_files/eLearning/introduction.php
- This site appears to be someone else's project for e-learning but I found the images very helpful in describing the roles of the student and instructor in online learning environments.
- http://illinois.online.uillinois.edu/ionresources/instructionaldesign/
- This site has great resources for newcomers to the online environment. I found the background information about online learning - strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, instructional design resources and others all very helpful.
- Piskurich, George. (2004). "Getting the Most from Online Learning"
- I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is a novice to the online environment. Piskurich has great tips on various concerns a new elearner would have. I learned about him after borrowing my friend's copy of his book "Rapid Instructional Design" (2006)
