Does anyone know of any upcoming conferences or workshops that would provide a good intro to e-learning development? My background is in web development.

Check out ASTD's E-Learning Instructional Design Certificate Program - http://www.astd.org/content/education/certificatePrograms/ELearning/

Also, Langevin has good classes too!www.langevin.com

I've been in the E-Learning industry for over 6 years and would be happy to coach you (for free!) if you like. Just send me a PM.

Thanks!

I am going to ASTD's TK2008 in san antonio

you should go... it's gonna be a blast

If you're coming from a web background, I would look into:

Devcon (I've been several times. Focus is on development and reasonably priced)
Devcon

Others that I've heard were good (but these reviews were from ID people and not developers)besides the ASTD conference:

Elearning Guild Elearning Guild conference

Eliot Masie's conference Masie's conference

Take a look at our new online course here at Oxford University:

Effective Online Tutoring

Next course starts May 12.
