Karen Geisel 5/19/09: This is probably not new to some but I just ran across the **National Standards for Quality Teaching Online** [] It has some great information about what makes a quality online presentation.

One of the prerequisite technology skills to teach online is appropriate online etiquette...this site has some great tips. []

**ToolBook** provides a comprehensive solution with everything you need to quickly create engaging interactive content, quizzes, assessments, and simulations. With the newest ToolBook 9.5 version, you can now easily turn your PowerPoint files into SCORM-compliant courses and create rich learning content for your mobile learning.  **CourseLab** is a powerful, yet easy-to-use, e-learning authoring tool that offers programming-free WYSIWYG environment for creating high-quality interactive e-learning content that can be published on the Internet, learning management system (LMS), CD-ROMs, and other devices. And it is FREE!
 * American Society for Training and Development** has a page called "Learning Circuits", their source for E-learning. I was looking at some of their archived articles and found the following sites to assist in making online courses interactive, one of the standards for quality online learning... I will look at these and play to see what they are all about.

They also have a nice E-Learning Glossary with terms and definitions to help make sense of all this!

One more site... [] has some resources in their store that sound like they may be helpful..
