 The
aim of the Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks
is to describe original work in asynchronous learning networks (ALN), including
experimental results. The Journal adheres to traditional standards of review
and authors are encouraged to provide quantitative data; currently JALN's acceptance rate is 25%. In addition, major
reviews and articles that outline current thinking will be accepted. Papers useful to administrators are welcome. The
initial objective of the Journal is to establish ALN as a field by publishing
articles from authoritative and reliable sources. Ultimately, the objective
of the Journal is to be the central resource for knowledge about ALN.

The
intention of the Sloan-C View is to provide

field and pointers to more details about the work of the Sloan Consortium.
The Consortium currently has approximately 1900 active organizational members, including colleges, universities,
consortia, and vendors. The View is published online as both web pages and
in a downloadable Acrobat PDF format. Sign up to receive Sloan-C View announcements for free.

The Sloan Consortium Series of books on online
education are based on collaborative Sloan Consortium workshops of invited
educators, convened by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. These peer-reviewed
case studies present a wealth of inside information about the strategies
successful programs are using to improve learning effectiveness, cost effectiveness,
access, and student and faculty satisfaction. These elements of quality
constitute the mission of the Sloan Consortium: to make education a part
of everyday life, accessible and affordable for anyone, anywhere, at any
time, in a wide variety of disciplines.

| The Workshop Companion Publications are publications that are recommended by Sloan-C to augment the various workshops that we offer. They also provide a convenient reference and permanent record for you and your colleagues. Some of the publications have been created specifically for the workshops, while others are great research publications that Sloan-C has published over the years. These recommendations are updated every year when the new annual workshop schedule is released. |
The ALN Magazine was devoted to topics
in ALN that did not fall in the traditional journal format. These topics
included reports of uses of technology, experiences with ALN courses, reports
of activities on various campuses or in industry and summaries of ALN activities
(e.g., the reports from ALNTalk). The aim was to make the ALN Magazine a
more news and method-oriented publication rather than a formal journal.
The ALN Magazine is not longer published, but the archives continue to be
available. |
