Custom E-Learning Training & LMS Solutions Kineo - New Skills for Instructional Designers
Slides from a presentation on ID skills, specifically at the intersection of instructional design and IT. Especially interesting were the comparisons of word clouds from descriptions of graduate programs in ID with word clouds from ID job descriptions.

NCVER - E-learning in Australia and Korea: Learning from practice
NCVER - E-learning in Australia and Korea: Learning from practice
Lengthy study from 2005 comparing how e-learning is used in Australia and Korea, finding some similar concerns. Like most other studies, this one has found that e-learning "cannnot on its own guarantee successful learning outcomes for students. The way in which the teacher and the learner utilise the technology continues to be important."

eLearn: Opinions - Better Design Doesn't Take Longer!
eLearn: Opinions - Better Design Doesn't Take Longer!
A boring introduction to e-learning takes just as long to write as one that tells learners WIIFM. I think scenario-based assessments do take longer to write than traditional forced choice answers, but overall, the idea is right. After the initial transition period, better design doesn't have to take much longer than crappy learning design built for regurgitation.

Learning Benefits of On-Line Spaced Education Persist for 2 Years
Learning Benefits of On-Line Spaced Education Persist for 2 Years
Summary of follow-up research on online spaced education with medical residents showing that the benefits could still be detected 2 years later.
On-line spaced education can generate improvements in learning that are retained 2 years later. Although the effect size is modest, the persistence of detectable knowledge differences between educational interventions after such a long duration is exceedingly unusual.

Emerald | Industrial and Commercial Training | Enhancing coaching skills and emotional intelligence through training
Research comparing training spaced over multiple weeks versus an intense burst of training in two days. Not a controlled study, but promising results for spaced learning.
<em>Purpose</em> – <it>The purpose of this paper is to compare the impact of a long-term (13-week, spaced learning) with a short-term (two-day, block intensive) coaching skills training programme on participants' coaching skills and emotional intelligence.</it>
<em>Findings</em> – <it>Participation in the 13-week training course was associated with increases in both goal-focused coaching skills and emotional intelligence, whereas the two-day block intensive training was associated with increased goal-focused coaching skills, but not emotional intelligence. Further, the magnitude of the increase in goal-focused coaching skills was less for the two-day programme than for the 13-week programme.</it>

Spaced education improves the retention of clinical knowledge by medical students: a randomised controlled trial - Kerfoot - 2006 - Medical Education - Wiley Online Library
Research summary on spaced education for medical students. The e-learning included emailed scenarios and questions. The summary and conclusion talk about medical knowledge, but since this is about scenarios it seems like there might be some decision-making skills being reinforced here too.
<b>Conclusion </b> Spaced education consisting of clinical scenarios and questions distributed weekly via e-mail can significantly improve students' retention of medical knowledge.

Four Steps to Effective Virtual Classroom Training by Ruth Clark : Learning Solutions Magazine
Four-step model by Ruth Clark on designing for synchronous online training via Elluminate etc. The article is from 2005 and has nothing earth shattering if you've been doing this a while, but it's a solid introduction to how to use the tools effectively and blend synchronous learning with other forms.
