I agree --- now, where do I learn how to build high-quality, collaborative educational materials that effectively leverage modern technology? I hope to spend a year revamping the Software Carpentry course [1,2], and would like the new version to combine screencasts, interactive examples, and so on with more traditional text and images. Smith's "Conquering the Content: A Step-by-Step Guide to Online Course Design" and Ko & Rossen's "Teaching Online: A Practical Guide" were OK, but Shank's "Online Learning Idea Book" was far too basic, and Clark's "e-Learning and the Science of Instruction" was like being suffocated by a pile of dead sheep. How else are people learning how to (re)structure material to take advantage of new technology and the more fluid interactions those technologies support?
