As you're now witnessing, the eLN has a new website and a new look. We've been working hard over the past month to get this new site up and running for launch at Learning Technologies 2008. Over the next few weeks, we're going to be populating the site with all sorts of useful elearning resources, but the real purpose of this new site is social networking.

In 2008, we are introducing a new completely free associate membership scheme. If you're interested in elearning, whether you're a learning and development specialist, designer, developer, supplier, consultant, tutor, student or academic, we encourage you to register for associate membership using the Upgrade facility you'll find on every page of this site.

We have now finalised our programme of conferences and webinars for 2008. You'll find more details and a registration form in the Events section. This year's events will be more interactive than ever, providing you with plenty of opportunities to network with speakers and other members, as well as learning about the most critical issues facing elearning in 2008:
