Your Thoughts on the Top 100 Women in eLearning?
Lisa Neal Gualtier, Editor-in-Chief of eLearn Magazine left a comment yesterday on my gender and blogging post that she's writing an article on the Top 100 Women in eLearning and is looking for some suggestions:
So far she's had recommendations for Allison
Rossett, Ellen Wagner, Patti Shank, Diana Laurillard, Jane Hart and Gilly Salmon. Cathy Moore also chimed in with Ruth Clark.
Who would you recommend for a Top 100 Women in eLearning List? Leave me a note in comments with your suggestions and any reasons why you're making the nomination.
I'd add the following women to the list:
Julie Lindsay
Vicki Davis
Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach

Jane Bozarth - recently published From Analysis to Evaluation, with CD-ROM: Tools, Tips, and Techniques for Trainers. Also wrote Creating e-Learning on a Shoestring.
Jill Bolte Taylor - While she is a brain scientist, her book, My Stroke of Insight, is one of the great "learning" books out there, at least in my opinion.
Dr. Rita Dunn - Researcher and writer, mostly on learning styles
Diane M. Gayeski - Writer: Managing the Communication Function: Capturing Mindshare and Designing and Managing Computer Mediated Learning: An Interactive Toolkit.. Thomas F. Gilbert Distinguished Professional Achievement Award (ISPI).
Gloria Gery - EPPS & HRD Hall of Fame member (sponsored by Training Magazine).
Patricia McLagan - Member of the HRD Hall Of Fame, a member of the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame. She holds the American Society for Training and Development highest award. Professor of HRD at Rand Afrikaans University and a member of the ASTD Council of Governors.

I would recommend Monica Williams-Maldonado. Her blog, GivingCity (http://givingcityaustin.wordpress.com) is a great resource for people that want to know more about philanthropy, volunteerism and the nonprofit world. She just published her first e-magazine and is on a quest to make doing good relevant and cool!
Thanks,
Mando

Here's a bunch of suggestions--not sure what the criteria are, but I figure more ideas is better than too few. :) These do fall more on the education side of things, but there's a lot of interesting work in online and blended learning being done in academia.
In no particular order...
I'll second Janet Clarey for her research at Brandon Hall.
Rena Palloff--co-author of Building Online Learning Communities, a great book for online facilitators
Cynthia Calongne--professor at Colorado Technical University, does extensive work for Second Life education, including serving as a mentor on the Teen Grid for Suffern Middle School
Peggy Sheehy--teacher at Suffern Middle School, doing lots of innovative work with middle school students in Second Life
Sarah "Intellagirl" Robbins--researcher & educator working on Second Life and social media for education. The title "Virtual Worlds Consultant" is just very cool.
Diana G. Oblinger--president and CEO of EDUCAUSE. Maybe this doesn't quite fall under the heading of "e-learning," but she has published quite a bit about online learning in the higher ed realm.

My suggestion is:
Prof. Betty Collis - renowned academic and pioneer in using technologies for education. Author of 690+ scientific publications including seminal texts on Telelearning and Flexible Learning. http://users.edte.utwente.nl/collis/
