Getting started with e-learning can be daunting - there are many tools and services available with costs ranging from through the roof to free!

 The Centre for Learning and Performance Technologies (developed by Jane Hart) has some excellent resources to help organisations make decisions on the right tools for their work place needs.

You can access the 'Guide to choosing and Using Learning Tools' providing an overview of current learnign trends and practical approaches to using the tools.

There is also a 'Directory of learning tools' which is a growing directory of 1500 free(open source) tools and commercially available resources. They cover both the 'traditional' course development offerings and new Web 2.0 technologies and their use in the context of supporting learning.
