…it just goes to show you where a mis-typed URL can land you: I was on my way over to the
Xyleme Learning Pulse blog - I quite like The Blunted Edge opinion pieces there - when I accidentally dropped an extraneous “e” in front of “Learning” (finger memory I guess?).
Anyhoo, I was promptly directed to The eLearning Pulse Blog “Your daily source for all things eLearning.” As the two primary contributors Ben Edwards & B.J. Schone there say themselves:
eLearningPulse is an independent online community focused on serving eLearning developers, from instructional designers to software developers to project managers.
This site provides free resources to the eLearning
development community, including news, discussion forums, job postings, and more. We realized that there wasn’t a great place to rely on for this type of information in the eLearning field, so we built it ourselves.
eLearningPulse is free. We display eLearning-related ads on the site to pay our hosting fees. We may add features down the road that cost (like webinars, training), but for now everything is free.
While the blog has Forums, Videos, and other functions, of great use to me is the News feature: the eLearning Pulse aggregates e-learning news form abroad range of sources - just enough to allow you to skim headlines and straplines, much as you would with your Google Reader, Bloglines and so on.
So check out the eLearning Pulse.
…Check out both sites actually.

Thanks for the link to the eLearning Pulse site. I have been looking for a site to direct all of my eDCSD teachers to that aggregates a lot of really good thinking in one place. Thanks to you, I think I found it.
