eLearn Magazine editor Lisa Neal recently published a list of Ten Things You Can Do in Ten Minutes To Be a More Successful e-Learning Professional. If you're an online teacher or instructional designer, take a look for several worthwhile ways to improve your career. Here's a blurb:

"Find an e-learning conference to go to and send an email to your manager giving 10 reasons why this will help you perform better. If travel is a problem, find a local seminar to go to....Read 10 current e-learning job descriptions and see how many you are qualified for. Write down 10 ideas for your own professional development just in case you ever want to go job hunting."

Since online teaching is a relatively new profession, it's especially important for these instructors to stay on top of professional development and keep aware of advances in their field.
