About the eLearning Network

What is the eLN?

The eLearning Network (eLN) is a non-profit, Community Interest Company run by the elearning community for the elearning community.

The eLN is the number one source for guidance on best practice and future trends in technology-based learning and development at work, with more than 2500 members in the UK and beyond. Here’s why it has never been a better time to join the eLN:

Inspiration

Technology has never developed so quickly and with such far-reaching implications. You need information you can trust, practical advice and standards to aspire to. As a member of the eLN expect to be inspired:

• The eLN plays a major part in judging the E-Learning Awards, run each year by e.learning age magazine, which provide a showcase for the very best elearning projects that the UK has to offer.
• Our 1-day conferences address the most critical issues faced by the elearning community and provide an opportunity to explore future trends. In 2010, we are looking at hot topics such as obtaining value for money from your elearning solutions, thinking beyond the 'course' and making your compliance courses more effective.
• Our face-to-face events are supplemented by a series of free online events providing opportunities to interact with internationally-reknown experts.

Support

As elearning continues to grow, many more managers, l&d professionals and technical specialists assume responsibilities for elearning and want to get up and running as quickly as they can. The eLN is committed to providing the best support it can to all its members.

Our website provides a treasure chest of resources, including the latest news, white papers, links, a book list, blog feeds and an extensive elearning glossary.
 

Community

Many elearning professionals work alone or in small teams, without the peer support they require. The eLN is determined to really live up to its name by building the most vibrant community of practice in the industry:

• Our website provides extensive facilities for collaboration using forums, special interest groups and a range of other social networking facilities.
• To build the largest and most valuable community possible, we offer associate membership absolutely free. Associates are able to enjoy all the benefits of online networking, including our free webinar programme, with the option to upgrade to full membership at any time.
