Editorial Reviews
Review
If we had the book two years ago, we would have saved hundreds of hours of frustration and thousands of dollars in false starts. This primer should be read by anyone considering developing any portion of a Web-based training project. -- Elizabeth Dorsey, President, Arts Management and Education Services, Ltd.

A Must Read Book For Anyone New to the Field of WBT,
By Kris MM. (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Managing Web-Based Training (Learning Technologies) (Paperback)
Being new to the area of WBT, I found this book to be extremely helpful in providing tips, tools and considerations for the development, and management of web-based training (WBT). I believe the authors present a very realistic view of WBT. They do not present it as a panacea for all training needs and acknowledge the tricky balance between effectively utilizing technology and paying attention to fundamental learning theory. In addition to providing valuable information to help guide the development and management of WBT, the authors incorporate effective and interactive training methods throughout the book including case study examples, interviews with people currently involved in WBT, exercises and various scenarios that together make the book extremely interesting, engaging and easy to read. I believe the book is a "must read" book for anyone new to the field of WBT.
