Heavy Going - But Worth It,
This review is from: The Conditions of Learning: Training Applications (Paperback)
Even a casual acquaintance with instructional design results in the mention of Robert Gagné's work. Gagné established that there are different kinds of learned capabilities, and that effective instruction requires a different approach (conditions of learning) for each. This book demonstrates how Gagné's theory can be used in the workplace to make training more effective. This brief book is packed with information - you plow through rather than sailing through. However, it is well organized, authoritative, and worth the effort.

The Conditions for A Coma,
By
This review is from: The Conditions of Learning: Training Applications (Paperback)
I would call this "The Conditions for A Coma." The greatest utility I have ever found for this book was placing it on my nightstand, with George Bush's "A Charge to Keep." Seven minutes has been the record.
With more than fifteen years in training, I have not used the book as it was intended. If you have a college professor who makes you read this, I advise you to swear out a complaint as soon as possible. Buy this at your peril. All the speed or caffeine in the world will not get you through this.
