This is it, the first post on The eLearning Buzz. I was inspired to start this blog about eLearning after attending the DevLearn Conference in San Jose this week, sponsored by the eLearning Guild. There are other blogs and websites on eLearning that are more sophisticated than this one, and I will be providing links to those. But I wanted to start this one as a way to communicate with colleagues who are perhaps new to eLearning, or at least new to "Web 2.0" technologies like blogs, wikis, and the like. After all, that's what Web 2.0 is about -- sharing the knowledge!
Like the internet in general, the new web-enabled learning technologies -- eLearning -- are changing our world, and hold enormous potential for human development and community. So this blog is an exploration that we can undertake together into these waters, charted and uncharted. I'm not the world's leading authority on eLearning, but I am interested in what works. Like many of us, I'm learning as I go. I'll share what I know, and I hope you'll do the same.
So please do visit from time to time to see what's new, give feedback, and share your own thoughts and ideas.
All the best,
Jeff Yoder

Hi Jeff,
I too welcome you to the world of blogging. I am looking forward to reading your blog and interacting with you on the topic of elearning. I am currently designing, developing, and implementing a project at my school, Bowling Green State University, to bring blogging and podcasting to the entire university community. I am beta testing it right now at www.mybgsuonline.com. Do you think Universities should encourage students, faculty, staff, and alumni to blog?

If you really get serious about this blogging thing, it will be interesting to see if it has any effect on the time available for writing your novel!

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for putting me on the list. I must be way out of touch; I didn't know that SAP bought Outlooksoft. Good luck!
I look forward to sharing and learning about eLearning (and blogging -- I'm new to this!)
Best,
Maeve Lucey
