  The eLearning Guild is "a community of practice for eLearning professionals." Within the Guild, there are communities you can join based on your interest. They offer different levels of membership, one of which is free of charge. They sponsor conferences, online forums, publications, and they do some research. I have participated in two of their webinars and have found them helpful in my quest to learn more about how to conduct corporate training vs. course work for higher education. What I find beneficial is the breadth of articles I can access, for example, Technologies, Tools, and Media for eLearning to From Classroom to Computer. I have joined one of the interactive groups…the most basic one called the The eLearning Guild which communicates through a LinkedIn group. The wealth of knowledge truly amazes me…so much at times I cannot digest all that I would like to get involved in. They have specific discussion topics that you can tap into. For instance, I need some help on authoring tools…I look for this topic and find experts who are willing to talk with me on this topic. There are over 15,000 members from all over the country. You must get an account on LinkedIn and then make the eLearning Guild one of your groups.
