This article outlines ten principles for the design of both online and traditional learning environments. The article links and references research on how the mind works as a basis for these principles. It addresses topics such as what interactions should occur in learning, how to address a variety of learners, the role of mentors, directors and facilitators, and the development of knowledge based on individual experiences.
I'm adding this bookmark on Tracy's behalf. I've read many great articles from this blog before, and it looks like this entry has a lot of good information on barriers to a successful LMS.
