A wealth of information and the results of numerous research projects in the fields of distance and e-learning are available on the Internet. With the help of experts and members, the R&D Committee aims to select the best and most useful items from this vast quantity, and make them easily available on this website. This will save members long searches for the content they want, and, the chaff having been separated from the wheat, will give them items of high quality and relevance. The aim is to make readily available information that really matters and that is immediately useful to the work of distance learning providers.

At this stage the project is obviously still in its infancy. All members are invited to contribute to its success. Just let us know (kveen@eadl.org) what kind of information you are particularly interested in, and share with us any items you yourself have found on the Internet and which you think are of interest to other members.

We will draw your attention to useful Internet sites in Headlines. All members will receive this by e-mail.

We put the emphasis on:

• use of the Internet and of e-mail in marketing;
• experience in CBT, and coping with the technologies involved;
• criteria for the remuneration of Internet tutors;
• educational developments;
• teaching via the Internet/CBT: budgeting and profitability; assessment of its efficiency;

Please feel free to add to this list or specify your needs in more detail ( kveen@eadl.org).
