Hi all,
This is a great list, and as seen by the conversation yesterday, attracts a lot of willing expertise. I was wondering if any of you subscribe to any other lists/blogs/etc. in similar areas? I'm just looking to get a little more regular input and stay in tune with the latest in the learning technology community as much as possible.
Thanks for any ideas!
Ryan

LinkedIn has a number of groups devoted to eLearning, although not technical in nature.

Hi Ryan

I get most of my news via other people's blogs (RSS feeds in Google Reader) and Twitter.

There aren't too many active lists out there, which is why I started this one.

There are scattered discussions on LinkedIn, Facebook, etc., but they tend to be very top-level.  conform2scorm.com has SCORM-related forums. Some LMS and course vendors have lists that talk about learning technology... Adobe, SumTotal, etc.

LETSI and IMS have active communities, but they require membership.

If you're looking for conversations about a particular topic, I suggest setting up a Google Alert.  Anytime Google indexes a new webpage containing your search terms, you'll receive an email (you can also receive via RSS).

You can also browse Google and Yahoo Groups and can join any group you find that interests you.

It is tough as you have the "in the trenches getting stuff working" discussions and then you get a lot of the theory of elearning as well (how should content be tagged, logged, exposed, how should repositories aggregate etc). Both are great but theory is not useful when you are trying to get sequencing rules to play ball on X LMS.

I'd start following the rustici guys  and aaron silvers on twitter. adl has a twitter account as well. 

Google alert is a great idea too.
