e-Learning Resources: Books

	Today, there are lots of books on e-learning. Here we share some of our top picks that we think are worth a read.
	e-Learning: Strategies for Delivering Knowledge in the Digital Age Marc J. Rosenberg, McGraw-Hill, 2001 Also available as an ebook Outstanding overview of what e-learning means to the organization, how to maximize its potential and how to develop an effective e-learning strategy for your organization.
	Designing Web-Based Training William Horton, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000 Still my favourite book for designing web-based training, although it does not deal with communication tools. My 1st copy was so well used it was literally in shreds (had to buy a 2nd copy!) The companion website contains interactive examples from the book: http://www.designingwbt.com
	Implementing e-Learning Jay Cross and Lance Dublin, ASTD, 2002 If you heard Cross and Dublin speak in the year before their book was published, you probably heard them validating their principles and asking for additional input. Learn practical strategies from these thought leaders.
	Leading e-Learning William Horton, ASTD, 2001 I've taken workshops with Horton and followed his work for some time, and I'd buy anything written by him. ASTD contracted William Horton to write three of the seven books in it's E-Learning Series, a choice that speaks to Horton's expertise.
	Using e-Learning William Horton, ASTD, 2001 See comments above under Leading e-Learning.
	Evaluating e-Learning William Horton, ASTD, 2001 See comments above under Leading e-Learning.
	Designing e-Learning Saul Carliner, ASTD, 2002 Carliner's earlier work, An Overview of Online Learning (see below) was very good, and it's great to see a new book by Carliner in the ASTD E-Learning Series.
	Project Managing e-Learning Bill Shackelford, ASTD, 2002 Many organizations are finding they do not have the project management skills that are required to effectively lead e-learning projects that involve a team of specialists. A timely addition.
	Selling e-Learning Darin E. Hartley, ASTD, 2001 Building a business case for e-learning and selling it to your organization's management are no small tasks! Hartley's book also includes tips for overcoming resistance and objections.
	An Overview of Online Learning Saul Carliner, HRD Press, 1999 While written in 1999, still a good online learning primer for those brand new to online learning. Carliner is the author of numerous white papers, online courses and is a frequent speaker.
	Web-Based Training Cookbook Brandon Hall, John Wiley and Sons, 1997 Once considered to be the e-learning "bible", the cookbook is getting dated, especially as it focuses on the technical aspects, which have evolved greatly. Hold off for a future addition.
