International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE)
ICDE's site er nu (oktober 2002) operationel. Det skulle den have været allerede i august 2002, men det var ikke tilfældet. Det gjorde nok ikke så meget, ICDE har som organisation fungeret siden 1938. Siden da har det været organisations mål at "promote open and distance education, along with associated goals for flexible learning, training, continuing education, community education and adult education, throughout the world"!
ICDE, der i dag tegner 142 lande, har sekretariat i Oslo. ICDE er da også støttet af det norske ministerium for undervisning og Forskning. ICDE er affilieret med UNESCO.
Men tag ikke fejl, ICDE tilbyder også konsulentydelser indenfor e-læring og ODL, Open and Distance Learning. "With our new commercial services, we help clients access, understand and penetrate this market". I den sammenhæng udnyttes ICDE's globale netværk af lokale eksperter.
ICDE's publikationsliste er (endnu) ikke særligt omfattende. I skrivende stund er der faktisk kun en enkelt artikel, med titlen "Fifth Generation Distance Education". Her får du et overblik over den historiske udvikling indenfor feltet.
Lektor Jørgen Bang, formand for Det Rektorale udvalg vedr. åben uddannelse, er den danske repræsentant ved ICDE.

Proacte
linqx.dk var en overgang optaget :-) i proacte's link samling (other links related to Education and Training), men webmaster må desværre konstatere, at det per februar 2002 ikke længere er tilfældet :-(
Proacte er "PROACTe is a service to communicate work funded by the European Union under the Education Area of the Information Society (IST) Programme."
Proacte tilbyde en række diskussionsfora, hvor der er mulighed for regulær europæiske diskussion om emner som pedagogik og organisation, teknologi og infrastruktur.
I det hele taget er det et omfattende site med usædvanligt mange links til spændende og seriøse sites om forskning i (e-)læring: infocenter

European Institute for Elearning
EIfEL aims to support the continuing professional development of people occupying a wide variety of roles, for example:
- Those responsible for the design, delivery and management of training in organisations

- Freelance consultants or trainers who design or implement e-learning systems
- Teachers or lecturers committed to the use of ICT.

Prometeus
PROMETEUS is an open initiative launched in March 1999 under the sponsorship of the European Commission with the aim of building a Common Approach to the Production and Provision of e-learning Technologies and Content in Europe.
PROMETEUS is an expert opinion-making forum where actors from a wide range of professional, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, come together to build critical mass in the field of educational technology and applications.
The complementary expertise of the PROMETEUS Signatories is brought together in the aim to bridging the gap between research and actual use of learning technologies, content and services.

Centre for Educational Research and Innovation
This is another official site. Learn more
about "the Partnership Challenge", the "new learning
economy" and much more. However, DO NOT rely on their linqx to
"Knowledge and Learning" - the page is (August 2001)
EMPTY!

The official European eLearning Summit homepage
Find out what "250 invited leaders from
EU governments, the education and training sector, and a broad
representation of companies delivering eLearning services in
Europe" has managed to establish - I like the site and
recommend it.

Education Headlines
From overthere... The US department of Education is a worthwhile source to find out what they think about it.
