ASTD (American Society for Training & Development)
The ASTD site is undoubtedly the most comprehensive website on learning and development in North America. The site relevant information on all aspects of training, from e-learning to the classroom. Filled with the latest industry research and practical tips. Contains archival copies of ASTD’s "Training & Development" magazine and "virtual communities" (training and performance discussion groups). Some areas are open to all, while others are restricted to members only. See more about ASTD on in Recommended Resources under Training Tools & Products (click here), and Associations (click here). A must visit!

Big Dog's Human Resource Development Site
This site is a real gem. 'Big Dog' has devoted endless energy to research and creation of his Training and Development Manual, or Instructional Design System (ISD) Handbook (it's called both on the site). Visit this site and you'll find 7 full chapters online, as well as a glossary, appendixes and templates, all of which you can access and download free for your own use. We just hope 'Big Dog' (alias Donald Clark) will publish a book one day.... If you have an interest in instructional design, this site is a must visit!!!
