Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
ASTD Models for Learning Technologies presents ground-breaking research about the roles, competencies, outputs, trends, and ethical issues that affect those who implement learning technologies.
Many practitioners are already selecting, using, and managing learning technologies within their organizations. Others may need a new mindset and a new vocabulary to help them add new competencies to their current repertoire. This book reflects vast experience that was collected from distinguished authorities on the subject. Therefore, it is well suited as a handbook that can help trainers, HRD managers, instructional designers, and line managers who are responsible for training employees via technology. Specifically, the guide addresses how to
--classify the various technologies and understand their interrelationships
--assess current competencies that practitioners possess against competencies needed for their future success
--create a development plan for improving competencies
--understand the complex issues surrounding the selection of learning technologies
--better understand the components that make up the training delivery process when learning technologies are involved
--balance the human and technical issues that are essential to a successful implementation of learning technologies.
Founded in 1944, ASTD is the world's premier professional association in the field of workplace learning and performance.
