Authorware 6: Training from the Source

By Orson Kellogg and Veera Bhatnagar.
Not a great book really- in fact, at times it becomes extremely off-putting with repetitive sentences at the offset of every chapter, like- "authorware allows you to create powerful e-learning pieces with rich media... blah-blah-blah.....". Also, the language used is not too engaging- as if the reader is a ten-year kid. Even the things related to general computer usage have also been explained at length...
 
But hey, I just wanted to say, it's worth spending Rs. 450. And this is because of the CD that accompanies the book. You learn by doing, and once you have switched on your PC and opened the lesson files and Authorware, everything becomes engaging and interesting all of a sudden. Perhaps not a great book, but certainly a good 'bargain' overall, especially for the novices.

E-learning Companion: A student's guide to online success

By Ryan Watkins and Michael Corry.

As the first study skills book written for e-learners, this text serves as a resource and quick-reference guide for students taking any course that demands online technology skills. The E-Learning Companion shows students how to adapt previously mastered skills for the new e-learning environment --such as time management, note taking, or critical thinking-- as well as how to develop new study habits for the online environment. Students expand their knowledge of troubleshooting and technical terminology and become effective e-learners through hundreds of tips, suggestions, activities, and tutorials.  See www.e-learningcompanion.com

Guide to elearning

By Dr. Michael Allen. This book focuses on Rapid Content Development for elearning. The process used is: Principle of Successive Approximation. The benefits must be tried with a project to actually see it. I have seen the benefits of this approach vs. ADDIE.. Recommended by victor , 11/24/2003.
