It's always fun at this time of the year to look back at what's happened in the world of eLearning. And I'm having a good time on this post as I'm seeing some really great stuff that I hadn't seen before. This also contributed to the Hot Topics and eLearning Trends for 2009. So without further set, I'm happy to announce the Top Posts as defined by Social Filtering - meaning by everyone involved directly or indirectly in eLearning Learning. You can see more detail of how this works here in Curator Editor Research Opportunities on eLearning Learning(and see how you can be involved).
