There are many e-learning blogs out there, but these are a few of my favorites. I didn't use any scientific process to arrive at them (i.e. site traffic, analytics, etc.), other than I regularly get very useful and immediately practical tips and tricks from these blogs. Additionally, they aren't the only industry blogs that I read or have an affinity for. Simply stated, I gravitate towards these due to their usefulness for me and my work.

1. ASTD's Learning Technologies Blog- Formerly the Learning Circuits blog, this excellent resource is now housed by ASTD- The world's largest professional association dedicated to the training and development field.

2. The Rapid E-learning Blog- Practical, real world tips for e-learning success.

3. Rapid eLearning | Adobe Captivate Blog- Conversations on Captivate, Presenter and eLearning.

4. Cammy Bean's Learning Visions- Musings on eLearning and instructional design from Kineo's VP of Learning Design.

5. E-learning Queen- E-Learning Queen focuses on distance training and education, from instructional design to e-learning and mobile solutions, and pays attention to psychological, social, and cultural factors.

6. eLearning Technology- Tony Karrer's eLearning Blog on e-Learning Trends eLearning 2.0 Personal Learning Informal Learning eLearning Design Authoring Tools Rapid e-Learning Tools Blended e-Learning e-Learning Tools Learning Management Systems (LMS) e-Learning ROI and Metrics.
