Technology-based
training
The Node - Learning Technologies Network
- the NODE Learning Technologies Network is a not-for-profit electronic
network facilitating information and resource-sharing, collaboration
and research in the field of learning technologies for post-secondary
education and training. A really useful site packed with a wide range
of resources for practitioners and learners, numerous databases and
a clutch of web forums to allow you to discuss issues related to online
learning.
Diversity University - one of most
well-established educational resources on the Internet. Diversity
University is unusual for its use of MOO (Multi-user domain Object
Oriented) as educational environments. MOOs are one of the older Internet
technologies. They are entirely text based and using a MOO can initially
seem a little confusing and archaic. Nevertheless they have many advantages
and can offer a learner a rich educational experience.
You can also visit the Related Sites page
of our Technologies for Training
web site for a comprehensive list of sites on different aspects of
technology-based training.

New
Ways of Working
Community Intelligence Labs
- lots of fairly in-depth stuff on community intelligence, knowledge
ecology, communities of practice etc. It may sound like new age jargon,
but there is some authoritative material here. See especially the
Knowledge
Garden.
European Teleworking Online
- an extensive collection of resources covering almost every question
you could ask about telework and teletrade: if it isn't there, there's
a link to it.
Knowledge Connections - from
David Skyrme Associates - piles of resources on knowledge management
and virtual organisations.
Learning Organization
- home of electronic mailing list discussion on organisational learning
in practice.

Creative
Digital Media
These links are different from the others in that they are
mainly the sites of digital media production companies whose stuff we
like. Warning: you will require Shockwave to view many of the sites
as their designers intended. Other plug-ins and Java feature on some
sites.
Obsolete - designers specialising
in the music industry and arts.
Antirom - all Shockwave, from
some of the people behind the excellent Header
enhanced CD-ROM.
Backspace - a collection
of pleasingly random artistic explorations of the web as a medium.
Hypermedia Research Centre
- both the theory and the practice are provocative: sometimes impenetrable;
occasionally ingenious, and usually insightful.
CircumStance Design -
don't know much about these people, but we like the pretentious quotes
on the site!
Research Under Construction
- more random Shockwave interactivity from the "laboratory"
of designer Neville Brody.
Intro - and more graphics
and media folk gone "interactive", with QuickTime VR as
well as Shockwave
Ubu Web: Pere Ubu's Avant
Garage Online - an odd one in all respects: no flashy-but-half-baked
interactivity on this site, but a few insights into the creative potential
of hypermedia from an "individual" mind (get the enhanced
CDs if you can!).
