I came across this online magazine that covers eLearning while looking for information about YouTube as a learning tool. I think it's a good general resource about eLearning and is probably geared more towards the adult/corporate training side of Learning Technologies as opposed to the K-12 education side but could be used either way.

"A lot of eLearning professionals, especially those who have just started with their practice, often ask about the need for theory. Why bother with an instructional design theory at all? Isn't practice enough? Practice and theory actually goes hand in hand. This is true not only in instructional design but in any other field or discipline. Theory, far from crippling your practice, will actually help you improve the quality of your eLearning material. While a learning theory won't answer all of your design problems, it offers clarity throughout your process and directs you toward finding solutions."

You probably agree that most eLearning courses are designed in a linear format. That is, users of these courses must complete one section prior to continuing to the next. In linear approaches, the sequence of learning events is determined by the instructional designer rather than the learner.

"The development of new technology continues to have an impact on learning. While on the one hand, new technology allows schools and instructors to offer learning in new ways, educators nonetheless continue to face limitations imposed by technology, and sometimes the lack of technology. While access to the internet has increased greatly over the last decade, some schools continue to experience bandwidth shortages and most schools do not have enough computers for every student. Yet, this is changing, and the pace of this change will continue to accelerate."
