Hello:
This message is intended for distribution to groups of people who
potentially have an interest in Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALN). We
want to make you aware of the activities of the ALN Web
(<http://www.aln.org/alnweb/>http://www.aln.org/alnweb/), a website
dedicated to
ALN that is sponsored
by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
The ALN Web contains information that includes:
1. A scholarly journal: The Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks
(JALN). Back issues are on-line. We are seeking articles that describe
research progress in ALN. We publish articles that include data and
articles that are major thought pieces.
2. The ALN Magazine: The Magazine publishes articles about current news
in ALN, software information and descriptions of experiences in on-line
learning at various institutions.
3. Conference Proceedings: The proceedings of the annual international
conference about ALN are found on the ALN Web.
4. ALN Products: You may advertise products for ALN on the ALN Web
5. ALN Talk: A on-line discussion forum about ALN.
6. ALN Workshops: We offer an on-line workshop about "Getting Started
Creating On-line Courses." This three module on-line workshop teaches how
to create on-line courses using Microsoft FrontPage and other advance
media. The workshop is taken asynchronously using your own computer.
During the last year and a half, well over 1000 people have taken the
workshop (participants have come from 47 states and 17 countries). The
next workshop will be offered starting in late January, 1999. For more
information see: <http://www.aln.org/GS_jan99>http://www.aln.org/GS_jan99
or see
the link from the
main <http://www.aln.org/>www.aln.org page.
I would like to invite you to take a look at the materials on our website
and to participate in the work of the ALN web. If you are interested in
joining our permanent mailing list, please sign the guestbook on the ALN
Web. By doing this you will receive future announcements of our activities.
Best Regards,
John R. Bourne
