From the website: “Business English Pod provides free weekly MP3 podcast ESL lessons and audio / e-Book courses for intermediate and advanced business English learners. Each business English podcast lesson is focused on a particular workplace English skill (meetings, presentations, telephoning, negotiating, socializing, travel, conversation etc.) and language function (clarifying, disagreeing, questioning, expressing opinions, persuasion etc.).”

From the website: “The eLearning Guild is a member-driven online information center and Community of Practice where anyone involved in the design, development, and management of web-based educational or instructional content (e-Learning) can identify and access resources needed to ensure that their organizations’ projects are successful, engage in a professional peer network, and focus on expanding their own professional skills, knowledge, and expertise.”
The site appears more focused towards corporate training.
From the website: “The Northwestern Mutual Foundation, the charitable arm of Northwestern Mutual, partnered with the National Council on Economic Education (NCEE) in the development of themint.org….
“Launched in 1997, the site provides tools to help parents as well as educators teach children to manage money wisely and develop good financial habits: the building blocks for a secure future. Given the current rate of savings and debt in America, this is a lesson that desperately needs to be learned.”
From the website: “The idea of a web-based journal was first voiced at the turn of the centuries by Simon Winetroube, then ELT Projects’ Officer at the British Council, Russia. It was later discussed at the 8th ESP Anti-conference in St. Petersburg in October, 2001. Most Most participants agreed that it could benefit the international ESP community, if we had an easily accessible electonic periodical with contributions and readership from various countries.
“This publication, however, would not have been possible without the support that came from English Language Teaching Contacts Scheme and the British Council, Russia. We are very grateful for the assistance that we got from them, especially at the initial stages of the project, and would also like to thank those ESP enthusiasts who spared no time and effort to get the web-site started.
“Anyone who can help with this endeavour, please contact Vitali Ashkinzi, the Journal’s Managing Editor, at this e-mail address ashvital@gmail.com. Contribute your ideas, knowledge, ESP and IT expertise.
“On behalf of the Jounal’s management team Ludmila Kuznetsova, Editor-in-chief Russian ESP project co-ordinator”

The site itself is an excellent example of multimedia support file provision.
A wealth of video and audio on entrepreneurial issues.
From the website: “The site has been designed with the specific goal and narrow focus of providing easy-to-use listening activities that can be used on almost any Internet connection. Of course, many more kinds of interactive listening activities, test-question types, and accents are possible, and I look forward to seeing others launching their own sites with these features in mind. In my case, I wanted to give depth, not breadth (rather than snippets of this and that), to my original concept, one reason being the large time commitment just to create one activity. “
