The Eight Classic e-Learning publications?

Highlighted by mheinz57

In the meantime, here’s my ‘provisional’ list (I’ll probably think of others later) in date order of publication:

Hiltz, R. and Turoff, M. (1978) The Network Nation Cambridge MA: MIT Press. 1978? 1978?! I hear you say. Yes, Roxanne Hiltz and Murray Turoff were experimenting with networked computer communication for teaching at New Jersey Institute of Technology in the 1970s. And it’s still a good read.

Mason. R. and Kaye, A. (1989) Mindweave: Communication, Computers and Distance Education Oxford, UK: Pergamon Press This book features papers from some of the pioneers of online learning.

Harasim, L., Hiltz, S., Teles, L. and Turoff, M. (1995) Learning Networks: A Field Guide to Teaching and Learning Online Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. This was one of the first books to discuss in a systematic way the construction of knowledge through online discussion.

Jonassen, D., Davidson, M., Collins, M., Campbell, J. and Haag, B. (1995) ‘Constructivism and Computer-mediated Communication in Distance Education’, American Journal of Distance Education, Vol. 9, No. 2, pp 7-26. A major theoretical framework supporting online teaching.

Salmon, G. (2000) E-moderating London/New York: Routledge

Paloff, R. and Pratt, K. (2001) Lessons from the Cyberspace Classroom San Francisco: Jossey-Bass

JISC  (2004) Effective Practice with e-Learning Bristol, U.K.: Joint Information Systems Committee. JISC in the U.K. provides a continuous stream of excellent, pragmatic publications on e-learning.

Stephen’s Web: Stephen Downes’ always interesting and provocative blog. Of his publications I would choose: Downes, S. (2005) ‘E-learning 2.0’ eLearn Magazine October 15

Siemens, G. (2004)  ‘Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age’ eLearnSpace  I don’t think this is a learning theory but an epistemological belief, but it would be required reading if I was teaching a course on e-learning.
