In the UK, Gilly Salmon is one of the gods of e-learning. So one would expect her E-Tivities to a well-thought out, and articulate. Instead, it is so badly organized, so badly typeset, and so badly written as that it is nearly unreadable. It is also not about e-learning activities. It's about one specific type of e-learning activity: running a forum. More specifically, it is about her course to train teachers to run online fora.
It's a shame the book is such a mess, because there is some good material there. But when you have to trudge through Ms. Salmon's streams of 30+ bullet-points that don't appear to be edited, you, the reader, can't help but feel that someone is having a laugh at your expense.
If you want to learn something about e-learning and instructional design. I highly recommend you read E-Learning and the Science of Instruction over Salmon's book.
