e-Learning reviews available on new web site

In a joint effort with the Swiss Center for Innovations in Learning, SCIL this fall announced the launch of a new web site on elearning to make it easier to track and review research literature in the field across its multiple disciplines, something that is difficult to do since the field is so vast.  

The website, www.elearning-reviews.org, provides those interested in research on elearning with concise and thoughtful reviews of relevant publications. The goal of the collaborative project is to provide ongoing updates, as well as a solid base of existing literature from the various disciplinary perspectives, including strategy, quality, pedagogy technology, human-computer interaction and change management. The reviews focus on the intersection of elearning theory and practice, both in corporate and higher education.

The project was initiated by the Swiss SCIL, which maintains and continues to further develop the web site. The editorial team is made up of researchers from the Swiss SCIL, as well as researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zürich, Switzerland, and the Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning. All three of the partner institutions will regularly contribute reviews to the website.

Reinhold Steinbeck, Director of SCILNet, the international program of the Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning, and topic co-editor, hopes that "elearning-reviews.org could become the 'Google' of elearning, just better, because you know that what you will find will meet the highest standards."
