The University of Colorado at Denver has published a new, free ebook for online college instructors. The CU Online Handbook covers a variety of issues and topics for distance teachers, including:
* how to transition from face-to-face to online teaching
* how to use web 2.0 tools like Twitter and blogs for educational purposes
* how to use eCollege

One of the recurring issues in higher education regarding faculty developing electronic learning materials is getting all this work considered in the tenure and promotion process. The Modern Languages Association has a wiki that tries to address that question in part, A Short Guide to Evaluation of Digital Work. According to the wiki, "This short guide gathers a collection of questions evaluators can ask about a project, a check list of what to look for in a project, and some ideas about how to find experts in one place." This is a section of the overall Wiki, The Evaluation of Digital Work. You can access the wiki at http://wiki.mla.org/index.php/Evaluation_Wiki
