It's rare that I spend time reading other people's blogs. But I've spent hours reading through the collections that this blogger has put together.
http://freescienceonline.blogspot.com/ I have to say that this has to be one of the greatest resources in e-learning. Watching how other teachers, master teachers often from MIT, Stanford, or Harvard, teach hard science subjects teaches us a lot about how to reach students and get them to understand hard and difficult subjects. We can then apply those lessons to our own projects.
For instance, I've notice that the professors I prefer use a lot of Socratic dialogue with their students, posing questions engaging the class with their responses. Those are the kinds of questions best used in the middle of an online presentation, to offer to a link to the discussion boards. Technologically speaking, that can get a bit difficult to create for multiple LMS (Damn those pesky LMS issues) but for individual courses it's quite easy to break the rhythm of a boring presentation with prompts and discussions.
